Iheanacho’s Last-Gasp Penalty Keeps Celtic’s Title Hopes Alive with 3-2 Win at Motherwell

Kelechi Iheanacho popped up nine minutes into stoppage time to convert a VAR-awarded spot-kick and complete Celtic’s 3-2 comeback at Motherwell. The penalty came after former Hearts midfielder Sam Nicholson was judged to have handled the ball when challenging for a header. Referee John Beaton reviewed the incident on the monitor before pointing to the spot. Liam Gordon had briefly handed Motherwell the advantage with an 85th-minute equaliser before Iheanacho’s cool finish sparked wild celebrations. The result keeps Celtic in contention for the Premiership title, while Hearts now need to avoid defeat at Parkhead on Saturday to clinch the crown.
