Watch as Fashion Sakala continues flying Saudi start after Rangers exit

This is the moment that Fashion Sakala made it two for two at his new club in Saudi Arabia.

The former Rangers striker was on the scoresheet for the second consecutive game last night as Al-Fayha drew 1-1 with Al Hilal.

The 26-year-old recently moved from Ibrox to the Middle East for a fee believed to be worth around £4million.

And after scoring in his new side's Saudi Pro League opener last weekend, the Zambia international has already doubled his account.

He scored the first goal of the match last night with a tremendously powerful finish at a tight angle.

The forward skipped past two defenders in the box with some neat footwork before rifling the ball past the goalkeeper at the far post.

The game finished in a stalemate though, as the hosts equalised through Abdullah Al-Hamdan.

Al-Fayha sits sixth in the Pro League after two games. Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq maintained their perfect start to the campaign this weekend. They sit top of the tree on six points.

Sakala finds himself ahead of Celtic hero Moussa Dembele, Riyad Mahrez, Sadio Mane, and Ronaldo in the scoring charts.

Meanwhile, the Champions League last season was a difficult experience for John Souttar for entirely different reasons to his Rangers team mates.

Souttar had long dreamed of being involved in Europe’s elite club competition, of standing listening to Zadoc the Priest before kick-off, of facing the best clubs and most famous footballers in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
