Watford loanee Uche Ikpeazu has dedicated his third league goal of the season in Port Vale colours to his grandfather who passed away earlier this month.

The Anglo - Nigerian scored a dramatic winner for The Valiants right at the death in their hard fought 3 - 2 victory against Wigan Athletic at Vale Park (Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire) on Saturday.

“Me and my bro Enoch after the most dramatic game I’ve played in. What a win against a big team like Wiganð���â�½ All for you Grandad love you â�¤,” Uche Ikpeazu said.

Across all competitions, Ikpeazu has hit target four times including his game - winner against Carlisle United in the Football League Trophy on September 1.

The 20 - year - old will return to parent club Watford on January 17, 2016 if Port Vale do not prolong the loan agreement between the two teams.
