Samuel Chukwueze and Karl Toko-Ekambi were on the scoresheet as Villarreal handed a heavy 5-1 defeat to Real Betis in Friday’s La Liga game.
After losing against Barcelona in their previous outing, the Yellow Submarine hit the ground running with the African stars playing pivotal roles in the encounter.
Cameroon international Toko-Ekambi grabbed a brace in the game while Nigeria winger Chukwueze came off the bench to seal the victory for Javier Calleja’s men.
Having earlier missed a chance to open the scoring, Toko Ekambi eventually broke the deadlock in the 39th minute, heading home Santi Cazorla’s cross.
