Uche Leads Villarreal Close To Promotion
Ikechukwu Uche scored in Villarreal’s 3-1 away win over Alcoron as the Yellow Submarines inch closer to an instant return to the top-flight.
The Nigeria international striker opened scoring for Villarreal in the 8th minute, before Bruno Soriano’s 38th minute strike doubled the advantage for the visitors.
Sergi Enrich pulled a goal back for the hosts in the 75th minute, but Hector Canteros sealed the win with a goal in the third minute of added time.
