Super Eagles star scores winning goal to drag his club out of relegation zone (video)

- Samuel Chukwueze scored the only goal that gave Villarreal three vital points away at Girona

- The Super Eagles star beat the offside trap to score a solo effort which boosted their survival hopes

- Villarreal will also be looking to overturn a two-goal deficit in the Europa League against Valencia

Samuel Chukwueze was on song for his La Liga club Villarreal at the weekend after scoring the only goal in their win against Girona.

The Super Eagles winger busted through the Girona defence with a pass from Pablo Fornals, having only the keeper to beat and picked his spot to score a wonderful goal.

Chukwueze's seventh minute strike turned out to be the only goal of the match as the Yellow Submarines moved two points out of the relegation zone.

Javier Calleja's side have been under contest threat in their La Liga survival this season and with three points in the bag, Villarreal are now 15th on the log with six matches left to play.

But Villarreal are doing well in the Europa League, but lost their first leg quarter final clash at home to La Liga rivals Valencia.
