SUPER Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze ended his 11-month La Liga goal drought by netting the opener in Villarreal‘s 2-0 victory over Real Valladolid on Monday, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.
Unai Emery’s team dominated from the start at Cerámica Stadium, getting on the board with Chukwueze’s shot from inside the area in the 21st minute, his first ever goal in La Liga since he scored in November 2019 when Celta Vigo beat Villarreal 3-1 at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
Pau Torres then added to the tally from close range in the 37th.
The hosts also had a goal disallowed by video review in the second half after a foul by forward Gerard Moreno before heading the ball into the net.
The win put Villarreal one point behind second-placed Real Madrid and two fewer than leader Real Sociedad. Madrid has a game in hand.
