Three Key Talking Points as Scintillating Celtic Cruise Past St. Johnstone

Celtic were in imperious form tonight as they put a hapless St. Johnstone side to the sword in a dominant 6-0 victory on the road.

Kyogo Furuhashi bagged a brace as Paulo Bernardo, Callum McGregor, Daizen Maeda, and Adam Idah also got in on the act.

Here are three key talking points from this evening’s events.

Piling On The Agony, Putting On The Style

From start to finish, Celtic were terrific in Perth. The Bhoys played some scintillating stuff, and Brendan Rodgers couldn’t have asked for any more from his players.

Even when they were five or six goals up, the visitors continually pushed and had an innate desire to score more.

Tonight was undoubtedly Celtic’s best performance of the season to date.

Kyogo Ends Away Drought

Kyogo Furuhashi finally got on the scoresheet away from home in the league for the first time since last October.

The striker broke the deadlock in the first half with a smart finish after getting in behind the St. Johnstone defence. He then made it 3-0 at the end of the opening 45, effectively heading home from a sublime Greg Taylor cross.

Defensive Stability Continues

The Scottish champions were once more solid at the back in the league tonight.

The Hoops limited their opponents to just a solitary shot on target, as Kasper Schmeichel kept yet another clean sheet.

The Dane is yet to concede in the William Hill Premiership this season as the Hoops remain sound defensively.

From this evening’s emphatic victory, Celtic can take ultimate encouragement.

The Bhoys were on it from start to finish and will be quietly confident going into Tuesday’s clash with Borussia Dortmund.
