Chukwueze shines in Villarreal's comeback win over Real Sociedad

Samuel Chukwueze played a key role in Villarreal's 2-1 comeback win over Real Sociedad in Sunday's La Liga outing.

The Nigeria international made his 18th appearance in the Spanish top-flight this term and was on parade at the Reale Arena for 82 minutes.

Chukwueze could not add to his tally of three league goals this campaign but he won a penalty that inspired Villarreal's fight-back in the second half.

Goals from Manu Trigueros and Santi Cazorla, in the 58th and 72nd minutes, respectively, sealed the visitors eighth league win of the season.
