With his latest goal, Sadiq has now scored four times from his four shots on target in La Liga since February 1.
That is the highest of any player in the competition, maintaining a 100% conversion rate with his shots on target since then in the ongoing campaign.
Heading into the clash against Valladolid, the lanky striker had already scored twice in Valencia’s 3-3 draw against Osasuna.
This result is a major boost to the club’s relegation battle, as they moved up to 16th in the standings with 27 points from 27 matches.
