Meanwhile, Carlos Ramos' 45th-minute goal only ended up a mere consolation as it could not stop the hosts from avoiding the defeat.

The 2019 Africa Cup of Nations bronze medal winner has now taken his assist tally to five across competitions with two other goals credited to his name.

Chukwueze broke into the Super Eagles squad in late 2018 and he has since then become an integral part of coach Gernot Rohr's formational.

He has two goals in 14 appearances for the three-time African champions and he seems to have an exciting future ahead of him.

The youngster has also reached a century of games for the Yellow Submarine.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian star Samuel Chukwueze came off the bench to inspire Villarreal to their first win of the New Year.

The 21-year-old who started the game from the bench was introduced into the game at the start of the second half.

And nine minutes later, he provided an assist for Gerard Moreno's 54th-minute strike - a goal which ended up becoming the winner and they claimed a 2-1 win over Levante in the end.
