Iheanacho's Late Goal Propels Celtic Joint-Top in League
Kelechi Iheanacho made a significant impact for Celtic FC in their match against Dundee, scoring the winning goal just two minutes after entering the pitch as a substitute in the 70th minute. The match saw Dundee reduced to ten men after Jamie McGrath was sent off in the 21st minute.
Celtic initially took the lead through Daizen Maeda but allowed Dundee to equalize with a controversial strike from Joe Newell just before halftime. Iheanacho's goal came from a corner kick, where he controlled the ball and slotted it into the bottom corner from six yards out.
This victory sent Celtic joint-top of the league, trailing Heart of Midlothian on goal difference. The 29-year-old forward's performance led to fans celebrating his sixth goal in seven substitute appearances this season, and Celtic coach Martin O'Neill praised his impact on the game, highlighting his role as a central forward.
