Samuel Chukwueze, Karl Toko Ekambi shine as Barcelona hold Villarreal

Samuel Chukwueze and Karl Toko Ekambi delivered impressive displays as Barcelona held Villarreal to a 4-4 stalemate in Tuesday’s La Liga game.

The winger who on Monday was named as Nigeria Young Player of the Year steered the Yellow Submarine to overcome a two-goal deficit at the Estadio de la Ceramica scoring and assisting with another before late goals from Messi and Suarez deny them victory.

Philippe Coutinho put Ernesto Valverde’s men in front with only 12 minutes into the encounter after he was set up by Malcom.

The Brazilian then repaid the kind gesture four minutes later assisting his compatriot to double the lead for the Blaugrana.
