  "account": "Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has equalled a historic scoring record at Bursaspor after scoring twice in their recent match. The Nigerian striker joined Bursaspor this summer from Scottish giants Celtic, where he won the league and cup double. Since his transfer, Iheanacho has scored 11 goals and provided two assists in eight league appearances. His current eight-game scoring streak extends his personal-best run to eight consecutive matches. This marks the first time a player at Bursaspor has matched the eight-game scoring streak set by former striker Fernandao during the 2014/15 Süper Lig season. Iheanacho surpassed Fernandao's achievement in just his third appearance for the Turkish side, scoring against Manisa FK, Esenler Erokspor, and Batman Petrolspor. With this performance, Iheanacho joins Fernandao in the club's scoring history. Bursaspor now leads the second division, three points ahead of Kayserispor, who have played one fewer match. The league leaders have secured six wins and a draw from their first eight games.",
