Celtic flop Vakoun Issouf Bayo scored four goals in one English Championship game at the weekend.

The Ivorian joined the Hoops in January 2019 from Dunajska Streda for €2.23m [Transfermarkt], but within 18 months, he left on loan for Toulouse.

Bayo enjoyed subsequent spells at KAA Gent and Charleroi. He is now settled on loan at Watford from Udinese in England’s second tier.

Vakoun Issouf Bayo

The 27-year-old made headlines for scoring an incredible scissor-kick goal at the start of the season, and he once again captured attention at the weekend.

Watford travelled to face Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday afternoon and picked up three vital Championship points.

They eventually won 6-2 – a memorable scoreline for Celtic fans – with Bayo bagging four.

His first came from the spot before he bundled in at the back post for his second. The ex-Celt then dinked the Wednesday ‘keeper on the break for his hat-trick goal, then tapped in at the back post to get his side’s sixth of the day.

Scoring four in one game is impressive in itself, but the fact Bayo’s goals all came in a specific 30-minute period of the second half is even more eye-catching.

The striker finally seems to be finding his feet after flopping at Celtic many years ago.

  1. ‘Flop’ is a bit harsh. He was one of those, like Shved, that Rodgers didnt actually sign & Rodgers only played him if others had a knock. I felt sorry for him at the time.
