Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho returned to the spotlight with a decisive goal that powered Celtic to a crucial 2-1 away victory over Dundee FC, reigniting their push in the Scottish Premiership title race.
Introduced in the 58th minute, Kelechi Iheanacho wasted no time in making his presence felt. The Nigerian forward came off the bench and delivered a dramatic late winner, sealing all three points for Celtic.
Kelechi Iheanacho delivers late winner to reignite Celtic title charge
It marked his third league goal of the season and ended a frustrating 12-game goal drought that had stretched over six months. His last strike came in October 2025 against Motherwell, making this goal a timely return to form.
Celtic had started brightly, taking an early lead through Yang Hyun-Jun, but failed to capitalize on several chances. Dundee responded in the second half, with Simon Murray converting a penalty after a VAR review.
As tension grew late in the game, Iheanacho stepped up when it mattered most, firing home the winner to send Celtic closer to the top after rivals dropped points earlier.
Sadiq provides spark but cannot save Valencia from defeat
In Spain, Umar Sadiq showed glimpses of quality but could not prevent Valencia from slipping to a 3-2 home defeat against Celta Vigo.
Starting from the bench, Sadiq was introduced in the 63rd minute as Valencia searched for a way back into the game. The Nigerian forward made an instant impact, setting up Guido Rodríguez for a late goal deep into stoppage time.
Despite his contribution, Valencia could not complete the comeback. Sadiq now has one goal and one assist in 11 league appearances since completing his permanent move from Real Sociedad in January.
