Super Eagles forward has scored in the UEFA European Conference League again as Villarreal played a four-goal thriller against Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Both teams couldn’t convert their chances in the first half with Hapoel Beer Sheva trying to break on the counter while sitting back in defense.

The visitors scored the first goal of the night in the 48th minute as Timer Hemed excellently converted his penalty and put his side in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages.

Within 10 minutes after conceding, Chukwueze drew Villarreal level with a wonderfully executed finish.

Villarreal completed their comeback in the 70th minute through Groeneveld but their lead could only last for 9 minutes as Jehezkel equalized for the visitors.

The match ended 2-2 with Villarreal still on top of the league and already qualified for the knockout stages with 13 points while Hapoel Beer Sheva are fighting for the second slot and are currently third with 4 points, 2 points behind the second Lech Ponznan.

Samuel Chukwueze has now scored 3 goals and 3 assists in 7 UEFA Conference League fixtures (including qualifiers) this season.
