Copenhagen 1-1 Celtic: Forster penalty save prevents undeserved defeat for Lennon's men

Copenhagen were outplayed by Celtic but the latter had Fraser Forster to thank for earning them a first-leg draw with a penalty save.

Celtic were the much better side in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie against Copenhagen, but the Scottish champions were ultimately grateful to claim a 1-1 draw at Parken thanks to Fraser Forster's wonderful late penalty save.

Neil Lennon's men claimed a deserved lead through Odsonne Edouard on Thursday, having failed to score in their last nine away knockout games in Europe, and looked superior to their hosts for long periods.
