Samuel Chukwueze was a second half substitute as Villarreal slumped to another defeat in La Liga after Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Valencia at the Mestalla.
Chukwueze came on for Cameroon international Karl Toko Ekambi in the 63rd minute, with the game tied 1-1, but couldn’t produce a goal off the bench like he did against Celta Vigo.
The hosts restored their lead through Ferran Torres’ 70th-minute match-winner and the Yellow Submarines we condemned to back to back defeats in the league.
A seventh league defeat; a fourth for Villarreal on the road, means they’ve only picked three maximum points away from home this season.
