Gent Star Moses Simon Bags Brace In Front Of Manchester United, Chelsea Scouts

Nigeria international Moses Simon scored twice including a 45th winner as Gent beat Club Brugge 2-1 in the Belgian First Division A on Sunday.

The visitors had opened the scoring after only eight minutes, but Gent equalized in the 25th minute when Simon scored after Samuel Kalu had sent the ball to the far post.

On the stroke of half-time, the exciting winger was given the task of converting a spot kick and he didn’t disappoint, scoring his second of the evening.

Gent played a man short for the last 40 minutes after William Troost-Ekong was sent off for his second bookable offense.

Of the four Nigerians that started the game for De Buffalo’s, only Anderson Esiti put in a full shift. Kalu and Simon were substituted in the 56th and 75th minute respectively.

Representatives from Manchester United, Chelsea and Stoke City were among the 19,999 spectators at the GHELAMCO-arena this evening.
