Roma Dominates Celtic 3-0 at Celtic Park in Europa League Clash
Roma secured a commanding 3-0 victory against Celtic at Celtic Park during their Europa League match. The decisive performance featured a hat-trick from Evan Ferguson, who scored twice in the first half and once in the second. The opening goal resulted from an own goal by Celtic's Liam Scales after a corner from Matías Soulé, capitalizing on a possession error by Kasper Schmeichel.
Ferguson's second goal came from a close tap-in following a Mehmet Zeki Celik cross, assisted again by Soulé. The third goal was added by Ferguson once more after another setup from Soulé, completing Roma's dominant attacking display.
Celtic's Arne Engels nearly scored a stoppage-time penalty, but his effort hit the post after being fouled by Roma's Mario Hermoso. Additional Celtic chances, including Leon Bailey's potential goal, were thwarted—Bailey's effort was denied after a late VAR intervention, and Kelechi Iheanacho’s subsequent chance was ruled offside.
The defeat has put Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy under scrutiny, especially given the team's use of a three-left-footed-center-back formation and upcoming League Cup final against St Mirren. Roma, meanwhile, have now accumulated six points from two matches on their visits to Glasgow in this Europa League campaign.
