Samuel Chukwueze provided an assist to help Villarreal advance into the quarter-final of Copa del Rey after a 2-0 victory against Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday evening.
The 20-year-old winger came off the bench to make his 23rd appearance for the Yellow Submarine and made a key contribution in the encounter.
After a goalless first-half, Fernando Nino broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute and in their quest to secure a comfortable win, Javier Calleja brought on the Nigeria international for Javier Ontiveros.
11 minutes after his introduction, the Super Eagles star set up Santi Cazorla with a sumptuous pass to score the second goal for the Estadio de la Ceramica outfit and ensured their progress into the quarter-final of the competition.
Chukwueze who has four goals this season will hope to continue his fine form when Villarreal square off against Osasuna in a La Liga game on Sunday. (Goal)
