Sadiq Umar’s sublime goal for Valencia against Rayo Vellecano has won the La Liga Goal of the Month Award.
The Super Eagles striker scored a brilliant back heel goal in the pulsating three-all draw against Rayo Vellecano.
Umar beat the duo of Rayo Vallecano’s Romania right-back Andrei Ratiu and CD Leganes’ center forward Diego Garcia to win the award.
The 28-year-old has been on a good run of form since he joined Valencia on loan from Real Sociedad in the January transfer window.
Sadiq Umar has 3 goals in three La Liga matches in March with a brace against Ossasuna and a goal against Rayo Vellecano.
Despite his recent form, Eric Chelle picked Victor Osimhen over Sadiq Umar in the just-concluded FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Sadiq Umar didn’t feature in the two matches against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
