Umar Sadiq has reacted to Valencia’s crucial 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at the Estadio San Mamés on Sunday

Sadiq came off the bench to score the decisive goal 18 minutes from time.

It was the Nigeria international’s third goal in his last four league outings for Carlos Corberán’s side.

Reflecting on his goal, the striker said helping the team win is the most important thing.

“It was the first ball I touched, but the most important thing is the team, that we work together,” the 29-year-old was quoted by the club’s official website.

“Winning here is very important, in a difficult stadium. We all knew that. We are very happy.”

Sadiq joined Los Che from Real Sociedad in January.

He has registered four goals and two assists in 14 league appearances for Valencia.
