Kelechi Iheanacho clinches vital victory for Celtic at Dundee

Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to score a dramatic 82nd-minute winner against Dundee, moving Celtic within three points of the Scottish Premiership summit.

​Celtic secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Dundee at Dens Park to intensify the title race. The Hoops took an early lead through Yang, but were pegged back in the 57th minute by a Simon Murray penalty.

Manager Martin O’Neill responded by introducing Kelechi Iheanacho, who decisively rifled home the winner eight minutes from time after controlled buildup play from Marcelo Saracchi.

​The match ended in further frustration for the hosts as Ryan Astley was sent off for a professional foul on Yang.

Despite several missed opportunities from Tomas Cvancara earlier in the game, the traveling support celebrated a massive three points.

Celtic’s relentless pressure ultimately paid off, leaving Dundee to rue their late collapse as the visitors closed the gap at the top.
