Almeria forward Sadiq Umar scored his 12th league goal of the season for promotion chasing Almeria as Leganes come from behind to snatch a 2-1 win courtesy of a late goal from Kenneth Omeruo.
Sadiq wasted no time in opening scoring when he latched onto ball caused by a slip by Unai Bustinza to hit home a ferocious effort which handed his side the lead.
Their lead lasted for 48 minutes before Borja Baston levelled For Leganes. Sadiq had the ball in the back of the net to hand his side the lead again but it was cancelled after a review by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
VAR ruled that the Nigerian handled the ball in the build up to the goal but replays showed that the ball probably came off the hand of Leganes substitute Luiz Perea not the Nigerian.
The game tagged as battle of the Nigerians in the Spanish second division was settled in the favour of the home side when Omeruo headed home a last minute header to seal the win for his side.
On a personal note, Sadiq now has 20 goals this season with 12 for Leganes adding up to the 6 he scored for Partizan Belgrade before his deadline day move in the summer. He also scored twice in the Copa Del Rey for Almeria.
