Sadiq Umar confirmed his rating as one of the hottest property in Spanish football with a brace for Almeria who were unfortunate to throw away a two goal lead in a 2-2 against Oviedo.
The Nigerian scored the first from the spot in the 22nd minute before adding another eight minutes later to hand his team a comfortable two goal lead heading into the half time break.
His effort was however insufficient to hand all three points to his team as they capitulated in the second half to pick just a point from what looked like three sure points until seven minutes to the end of the game.
Almeria remained 3rd on the log with promotion still in sight as they are in the playoff zone largely due to the Nigerian striker who has 18 league goals this season.
He has two goals in the Cup and in all competitions he has three assists proving right the decision of the club to sign him from Serbian side Partizan Belgrade in the summer.
