Chukwueze helps Villarreal climb to Europa League spot with Levante win

Samuel Chukwueze was in action as Villarreal clinched a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Levante in Saturday’s La Liga game.

The Super Eagles star was afforded his 23rd league appearance this season in the encounter as a second-half substitute and gave a good account of himself.

Chukwueze replaced Paco Alcacer in the 76th minute and helped Javier Calleja’s men return to winning ways after a draw with Real Valladolid and defeat to Mirandes.

Moi Gomez stole the show, scoring the match-winning goal after Borja Mayoral’s strike for Levante had cancelled out Gerard Moreno’s opener.
