He rediscovered his form under manager Rui Vitoria as they played the encounter with 10-men for about an hour of the match, Pulse reports.

How it went down

Spartak Moscow approached the cracker having drawn their last game against Ufa 1-1 and they took the lead as early as the 13th minute courtesy Moses who put the ball beyond goalkeeper Vitali Gudiev; thanks to an assist from Aleksandr Sobolev.

And just before the half time break, the visitors restored parity through Daniil Utkin who was teed up by Artem Arhipov.

In the second half, the home side stepped up their game but were unable to take the lead as they wasted several scoring opportunities.

However, Vitoria’s side had the final laugh as they scored the winning goal with three minutes left on the clock as Quincy Promes turned in Roman Zobnin’s pass.

After impressing for 81 minutes, former Chelsea star Moses was subbed off for Georgi Melkadze.
