Ex-Man Utd Star Hails Chukwueze As Super Eagle Scores; Admires Nigerian's Goal Celebration
Published: March 11, 2019
Former Manchester United and South Africa midfielder Quinton Fortune has heaped plaudits on Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze following his goal scoring feat for Villarreal against Levante on Sunday evening in a 2-0 win.
Villarreal are in danger of being relegated this season in the La Liga which is in contrast with their impressive Europa League form but an inspired performance means they sit in the 17th place.
Working as analyst for La Liga TV, Fortune said at the half-time of Valladolid versus Real Madrid:
"That's what you ask from a team that has played some great football. Samuel Chukwueze has been playing well for Villarreal.
"Oh wow, that's great, good steps," Fortune enthused as he admired the dance steps of the Nigerian whilst he celebrated his 90th minute goal, his third of the season in 16 league matches.
Before the winning goal by Chukwueze in the sixth minute of added time (96th minute with assist by Santi Cazorla), Levante conceded an own goal in three minutes earlier through defender Rober.
Fellow Nigerian Moses Simon was in action all 90 minutes for Levante while Chukwueze came off the bench in the 63rd minute for Gerrard Moreno.
