Super Eagles star Samuel Chukwueze was on target as Real Madrid staged a remarkable comeback to beat Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica in the Copa del Rey on Thursday, January 19.

The 23-year-old grabbed the second goal for the home side in the 42nd minute after Cameroonian international Etienne Capoue had given the Yellow Submarines an early lead inside the opening 4 minutes.

It was the Nigerian international's 4th goal in 4 Copa del Rey matches this season.

Despite putting up a remarkable performance in the first 45 minutes, Quique Setien's side went to sleep in the second half as they allowed the Los Blancos to turn the game on its head courtesy of goals from Vinicius Junior, Militao, and Asensio.
