Omeruo boost for Nigeria as defender makes winning LaLiga debut

Leganes secured a narrow 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday as Kenneth Omeruo made his LaLiga debut.

The defender, who joined the Spanish topflight side on a season-long loan from Chelsea, replaced injured Unai Bustinza in victory, which came about thanks to an early strike from Guido Carrillo.
