The Celtic defender was superb in the 3-3 draw with Manchester City.

Wednesday’s Champions League clash between Celtic and Manchester City proved to be a classic as the sides played out a 3-3 draw at Celtic Park.

Two goals from Moussa Dembele and an own goal from Raheem Sterling put the home side into the lead on three separate occasions.

Undeterred, City hit back through goals from Fernandinho, Raheem Sterling and Nolito.

It is fair to say that neither defence was on top in the game as the two strike forces clearly dominated.

However, it appears that one defender in particular enjoyed himself and that was Celtic man Erik Sviatchenko.

He managed to post seven interceptions in the game, which was the most managed by any player.

In fact, that impressive tally was the joint most managed by any player in all the Champions League games this week.

Only Barcelona star Javier Mascherano and Bayern Munich’s Thiago Alcantara posted the same number.

That is impressive company indeed for the Celtic man and showed just how well he performed in the draw with City, despite conceding three goals.

Brendan Rodgers and his team will be hoping for more of the same when they take on Borussia Monchengladbach next time around.
