The 26-year-old Benue-born talisman emerged as the ultimate hero for the Andalusians, netting a spectacular winner to cap off a historic 3-2 comeback victory against Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica.

Trailing by two goals within the opening 20 minutes, Sevilla launched a ruthless counter-offensive before Adams produced a thunderous left-footed strike 18 minutes from time to completely silence the home crowd.

The monumental result marked the second consecutive match where Adams has scored the late winner, following his 91st-minute heroics against Espanyol over the weekend.

More importantly, the victory smashed Villarreal’s unblemished record, handing them their first home defeat of the campaign to a team outside LaLiga's top seven.

The strike took Adams' domestic tally to 10 league goals for the season. In doing so, he officially matched an elite Super Eagles milestone.

‘Baba Na You’

Taking to his official social media pages moments after the final whistle, the Sevilla frontman bypassed personal praise, choosing instead to reflect on his journey and attribute the incredible turnaround to divine intervention.

On his X account (formerly Twitter), Adams posted a raw, emotional expression of gratitude: “Baba na you do this one,” attributing his red-hot form entirely to God.

He doubled down on his Instagram page shortly after, sharing an inspiring message of faith with his global followers: “For with God all things are possible for them that believe!”

With Sevilla now sitting comfortably four points clear of the treacherous drop zone with just two games remaining, Adams' remarkable transformation from a mid-season drought to a relegation saviour is firmly complete.
