Samuel Chukwueze was in top form as he returned to Villarreal’s starting XI in their 2-1 win over Real Sociedad on Sunday at the Anoeta Stadium.
The Winger was brought down inside the box, and after a review by VAR, the Referee reversed his initial “NO Penalty” decision.
Manu Trigueros converted from the spot during the 58th minute to level the scores before substitute Santi Cazorla scored in the 72nd minute what proved to be the winner.
Chukwueze, 20, impressed with a 7.0 rating, registering a shot and completing two dribbles – only Martin Odegaard completed more dribbles (5).
The Nigerian’s goal contributions this season stands at 3 goals, 1 assist, as Villarreal move to 9th in the table.
Villarreal are now on a four-game winning streak and Javier Calleja’s men and are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions.
