Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze opened his pre season goal account with a well taken goal in his team 1-2 loss to Valencia in a high profile pre season game.
Chukwueze opened scoring in the 8th minute of the game for his first goal in three pre season games. Maxi Gomez drew Valencia level six minutes after the hour mark.
Fifteen minutes to the end of the game , Maxi Gomes profited from an error by Villarreal goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo for his and his team second goal of the game.
The goal ended as the decider in the keenly contested pre season game where Chukwueze played his first ninety minutes since the start of their preparations for next season.
Last season Chukwueze scored just three goals in 37 league games , two short of his first season with the first team when he scored five goals in 26 games. Despite his obvious talent the one area of his game that needs improvement is his finishing in front of goal.
