Alfred MorelosColombian striker rangersrecovered his goalscoring instinct after two games without a goal and scored his eighteenth goal against Motherwell of the season, still far from his best season, 2018/19, in which he scored thirty goals in 48 official games.
“El Bufalo” has already exceeded his figures for last year, the worst since he arrived in Scotland. He has left behind the 17 goals and little by little he is adding hits to approach his ceiling of thirty goals from three campaigns ago. On this occasion, his victim was Motherwell, who could not placate the voracity of a player who needed to score after failing against Dundeeen Liga and against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League.
Against Motherwell, Morelos scored the first goal of the match with a fine header in the 22nd minute from a Ryan Kent corner. And, right after, he added another assist to the locker after giving Fashion Sakala the second Rangers goal.
However, his two actions were not decisive in winning the game. Motherwell reacted and in the second half he scored through Jordan Roberts and Kaiyne Woolery to make the score in a final 2-2 that prevented Rangers from getting closer to the leaders of the Scottish League, Celtic, who also played against Hibernian (0-0) and maintains their lead of three points over their main rival.
Morelos, in addition, despite his goal, lost the lead in the table of top scorers in the League. He has twelve hits, but Regan Charles-Cook (Ross Country), with a brace against St. Johnstone, broke the tie between the two and is now the sole leader with thirteen goals.
