Former Super Eagles winger Victor Moses marked his permanent move to Spartak Moscow with a goal as his side played out a 2-2 draw against Slovenian side Nk cBravo in a pre-season friendly at the Landskron Stadium on Friday.
Moses ended his nine-year spell at Chelsea after he signed the dotted lines for the Russian club to keep him until 2023.
Moses – who was in action for 72 minutes, fired home a leveler at the stroke of half-time after Miha Kancilija had opened scoring for Dejan Grabić’s men.
The former Liverpool midfielder inspired Spartak to a second place finish in the Russian top-flight last term, with his contribution of four goals and two assists in 19 league matches.
His 82nd-minute strike earned Spartak a 2-2 draw against Akhmat Grozny in the final Premier League match of the season and eventually sealed their second spot on the table, and a return to the elite European competition next season.
During his stint at Chelsea, Moses was loaned out six times with spells at Liverpool, Stoke City, West Ham United, Fenerbahce, Inter Milan, and Spartak Moscow.
He also won several laurels at Chelsea including two Europa League titles, the FA Cup, and the Premier League crown.
Moses’ last match for Chelsea came in the 2018-19 season, when he appeared as a second-half substitute in a 3-1 Europa League win over BATE Borisov.
After completing a permanent switch to the peoples club, the 30-year-old penned an emotional message to Chelsea.
“After nine fantastic years and 128 games for Chelsea, I have now officially left the club to join Spartak Moscow on a permanent transfer,” Moses wrote on Instagram.
“I’ve loved every moment playing for Chelsea and leave with memories that I will cherish forever, including winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League.
