Samuel Chukwueze's second goal against Real Madrid has been shortlisted for La Liga goal of the week.

The 23-year-old scored two remarkable goals as the Yellow Submarines stunned the La Liga title holders at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, April 8.

The Super Eagles winger's 80th-minute strike proved to be the winner as Quique Setien's side dazzled past Los Blancos in their own backyard.

Chukwueze dribbled past the Madrid defence in a great display of skill before placing the ball at the back of the net.

The Nigerian international will face stiff competition from Sevilla's Marcos Acuna, Rayo Vallecano’s Fran Gracia, and Osasuna winger Abdessamad Ezzalzouli.
