Nigerian whizkid, Samuel Chukwueze, was the star performer in Villarreal CF lone goal win over Mallorca in a LaLga tie on Tuesday.
In the 16th minute of the tie, Carlos Bacca tapped in a defence splitting pass from the Nigerian wonder boy to shoot the homers into the lead.
The Submarines have now moved one step to the seventh place with 44 points from 29 games on the log.
Villarreal, however has further pushed Mallorca into relegation waters this season as they are now placed 18th with two points separating them from Leganes, who are rock bottom on the log.
Chukwueze, who came off the bench was also instrumental to Villarreal’s win over Celta Vigo as Manuel Trigueros broke the hearts of the homers when he hit the back of the net on the dot of 90 minutes of the energy sapping tie at the weekend.
Villarreal CF will aim to consolidate on their winning streak when they play away to Ramon Azeez’s Granada on Friday.
