Celtic time strikes again as Kyogo and Abada grab last-gasp double to deck Dundee United - 3 talking points

Kyogo and Liel Abada grabbed stunning last-gasp goals as champions Celtic dramatically extended their lead at the top of the Premiership to seven points.

The Japanese headed home from close range with the clock on 90 minutes after Dundee United almost produced a Parkhead shock before his Israeli buddy sealed the deal in an enthralling finale. Sead Haksabanovic’s first two Celtic goals before half-time had the hosts in front and Ange Postecoglou’s Premiership pacesetters were always in control of the contest on home soil. Yet a VAR awarded penalty which was converted by Steven Fletcher kept the league’s bottom side in the game until and left them a chance to land a shock.

Indeed, had sub Greg Taylor not cleared off the line or Ryan Edwards’ header not hit a post in the closing stages, Liam Fox’s men would have grabbed their second equaliser of the day even before Dylan Levitt’s cross went straight in with four minutes to go. Celtic, though, just refused to give it up. After a 95th minute winner at St Johnstone earlier in the term, Kyogo and Abada pulled it out of the fire again.
