“His splendid and skilful goal came against Osasuna in a thrilling 3-3 draw placed on the arena of sublimity among strikers in La Liga and there is no doubt that he deserves the award,” LaLiga noted.
His goal came when Valencia was trailing and with the clock ticking down, the Nigerian lethal weapon displayed a moment of brilliance in a jiffy when he back-heeled the ball past Osasuna goalkeeper Sergio Herrera into the net in the 87th minute to claw back the game 2-2.
Umar has been enjoying great form since joining Valencia on loan from Real Sociedad in January. He scored three goals in the month of March.
