Chukwueze's Villarreal loses to Barcelona in La Liga

Samuel Chukwueze was in action for Villarreal as they bowed to a 2-1 loss against Barcelona in Tuesday's La Liga encounter.

The Nigeria international made his fifth league appearance and fourth start of the season at Camp Nou but failed to add to his tally of a goal and an assist.

First-half goals from Antoine Griezmann and Arthur handed Villarreal their second loss in the Spanish top-flight this term, as Santi Cazorla's stunning effort was not enough to inspire their fight-back.
