The Nigerian international scored the only goal of the game, heading home a cross from Alex Grimaldo.
"I knew once Grimaldo had the ball wide, he was going to deliver into the box. I've watched Patrick and Victor a lot this season. They're excellent at positioning between defenders and the post, so I thought if I got into the same position, I'd have a chance. Thankfully, the ball was perfect, and I managed to score," Tella said via the club’s official website.
