Ex-Rangers striker Fashion Sakala haunts former manager Steven Gerrard in Saudi showdown.
Sakala, 27, previously made history this season by scoring 14 goals in the league for his club. In doing so, he became the first Al-Fayha player to hit the figure.The Zambian striker scored twice - after 72 and 85 minutes - to earn a 2-1 win for his side. Former Celtic forward Moussa Dembele scored the only goal for Gerrard's men.Sakala's double helped him achieve another goalscoring record at Al-Fayha this season.
He took his tally to 16 - in 28 matches - with the double. In all competitions, Sakala has 19 goals and eight assists in 38 outings this term. On his Rangers exit - in a £4m transfer deal - Sakala previously told Rangers Review: “I think I deserved much better, I deserved to be respected at least," he said. "I can leave the club, but don’t tell me not to train with the team, don’t tell me not to go to the Rangers Training Centre anymore, as if I did something wrong."I understand you want to sell me to get money to buy new players, that is fine.
"When I received a call that I shouldn’t go to the training ground anymore, I didn’t see any of my teammates anymore. It was hard to say goodbye in such a bad way to people who looked after me so well – Tavernier, Goldson – I had to talk to them on phones when it was time to leave.Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
