Samuel Chukwueze was in action as Villarreal defeated Valencia 2-1 to move to the top of La Liga table on Sunday.
The forward walked straight into Unai Emery’s first XI after starring for the Nigeria national team during the international break.
The 21-year-old winger featured prominently for the Super Eagles against African champions Algeria and Tunisia in Austria.
Chukwueze impressed in the encounter as the Yellow Submarine returned to winning ways after playing out a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid last time out.
