Celtic winger Yang delivered a sensational performance in the 3-1 victory over Motherwell, scoring twice and showcasing why manager Martin O'Neill has kept faith in him. The 23-year-old's brace included a cool equalizer and a decisive third goal that effectively ended Motherwell's slim title hopes. His contribution has been far more than just eye-catching finishes, with stats showing his development into a consistent threat.

Yang's impact this season has been remarkable, scoring six league goals since Christmas and outperforming his expected goals (xG) with six goals from just 3.82 xG. Only teammate Benjamin Nygren has overperformed his xG by more. With a conversion rate better than Youssef Chermiti, Kevin Nisbet, and Barney Stewart, Yang has proven Celtic would be better off playing him more regularly.

The summer transfer collapse now looks like a pivotal moment for Yang, who struggled to convince before that point. After performances like this against Motherwell, that moment could prove significant in what's shaping up to be a successful league season for Celtic as they hunt down leaders Hearts in a nail-biting run-in.
