Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze, came off the bench to play an influential part as Villarreal grabbed a slim 1-0 win over Celta Vigo at an empty Estadio de Balaídos.
Chukwueze was introduced on the hour mark for Gerard Moreno and was instrumental in helping Manuel Trigueros nick the winner in added time.
The Nigerian’s initial shot was saved by Ruben Blanco but Trigueros showed sharp instincts to latch onto the rebound and break the home side’s resolve.
The win moves the Yellow Submarines up to 8th with 41 points and leaves Celta precariously placed in 17th-place just a point off the drop zone having played a game more than 18th-placed Real Mallorca and 19th-placed Leganes.
