Chelsea loanee Victor Moses scores in two consecutive games as Spartak Moscow beat Rostov

Published: April 04, 2021

Victor Moses has scored in two consecutive matches for the first time in his Spartak Moscow career, helping the capital outfit defeat Rostov 3-2 in a Russian Premier League match at the Rostov Arena on Sunday evening.

The former Nigeria international was reinstated back into the starting lineup after missing the last game before the international break due to a strain in the knee.

Moses gave Spartak Moscow the lead when his deflected shot sneaked in the back of the net midway through the first half.

Rostov hit back though and turned the game on its head with goals from Pavel Maslov (OG) and Georgi Makhatadze, but Spartak's Aleksandr Sobolev scored the crucial fourth goal of the game just before half-time and the Russia international scored with another header to make it 3-2 in the 58th minute.

In thirteen outings for the Muscovites since his loan move from Chelsea in October, Moses has been involved in four goals (3 goals, 1 assist), suggesting that he is on the right track.

Spartak Moscow paid a loan fee of 300,000 euros to Chelsea with the option to buy the Nigerian permanently set at five million euros.
