Abiola Dauda Back On The Goal Trail As Hearts Lose To Celtic
Published: April 30, 2016
Abiola Dauda fired home his fourth goal of the season in the Scottish Premiership but it could not prevent Heart of Midlothian from losing 3-1 to champions Celtic at the Tynecastle Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Two Nigeria internationals in the form of Juwon Oshaniwa (Hearts) and Efe Ambrose (Celtic) made the starting lineup for their respective teams and both lasted the distance.
On 57 minutes, substitute Dauda momentarily restored parity for The Jam Tarts but goals from Patrick Roberts and Leigh Griffiths secured the three points for the visitors.
The Nigerian, who came on in the 46th minute, raced through the middle before firing a low shot past goalkeeper Gordon.
Celtic will be crowned champions for the fifth year in a row if nearest challengers for the title, Aberdeen , fail to beat Motherwell
