La Liga: Chukwueze lead Villarreal to victory

By Sampson Adedeji

Nigeria's Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze continues to make headlines in the Spanish La Liga with his excellent performance this season for Villarreal.

2019/20 season has been an amazing one for the youngster, he put up a scintillating display for Super Eagles at the African Cup of Nations in Egypt and also has a game to remember against Ukraine in an international friendly.

Villarreal hosted Real Betis on Friday and it was Chukwueze introduction in second stanza that actually secured the game 5-1.

The game stood at 1-1 until his introduction in the 51st minute for Roi Gomez, his blistering run threatened Betis defenders and they conceded 3 goals in quick succession before he added the 5th goal in 90+5 minute.

Former Golden Eaglets star was in Thursday nominated for the Europe Golden Boy award and his present performance may earn him the crown.
