The game between Celtic and Dundee United was complete chaos. With 87 minutes on the clock, the visitors had managed to equalise and make it 2-2, as it looked like it was headed for a draw. Kyogo then rose to the occasion and put the Hoops ahead, before Liel Abada scored the fourth and sealed the win and all three points. Not only was it a thrilling victory for Ange Postecoglou’s side but also a blow to the Rangers.
Celtic snatching victory from the jaws of a draw once again shows why they are the champions. Their lead is now at seven points and it is up to the Rangers to maintain it at four, when they play their game in hand away at St Johnstone.
Amidst all the chaos of the bizarre penalty decision against Alexandro Bernabei and the late goals, one cannot lose sight of the performance that Sead Haksabanovic put in on the day though, scoring a brace.
The first one was a showcase of his great positioning in front of goal, as he got on the end of Jota’s ball on the far post. The second was a volley, and while the Dundee United goalkeeper could done better, Haksabanovic did his part and was rewarded for it.
Celtic pulled off bargain of the season this summer
It is believed that Celtic shelled out a transfer fee in the range of €2 million to sign Haksabanovic from Rubin Kazan and that could very well be the bargain of the season.
It is not just the goals that he scored against Dundee United, but his overall play as well. He has showed his ability against teams like RB Leipzig in the Champions League.
The Montenegro international is polished with the ball at his feet, rarely loses it under pressure, knows how to draw a foul, can play a pass and now is showing his goalscoring ability as well.
