# Villarreal Triumphs Over Celta Vigo with Chukwueze's Double in Victory

Villarreal secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo in a passionate encounter that highlighted the Yellow Submarines' growing confidence under manager Unai Emery. The match, played at Estadio de la Cartuja, was a contest of high intensity and skill, with both sides creating chances.

The game got off to a shaky start for Villarreal, who struggled to contain Celta Vigo's attacking trio of Iago Aspas, Maxi Gomez, and Samu Costa. However, the visitors soon found their rhythm and took the lead in the 16th minute through a well-worked move. A cross from the right flank found Juan Muñoz, whose pinpoint accurate finish gave Villarreal the lead.

Despite being a goal ahead, Villarreal's defense remained vulnerable, and Celta Vigo responded with a series of attacks. Their efforts were rewarded in the 28th minute when Maxi Gomez, clinical in front of goal, leveled the score with a powerful strike from outside the box.

The second half saw Villarreal up the gears, and they were rewarded for their persistence. In the 57th minute, the irrepressible Santi Cazorla, the hero of many Villarreal victories, played a perfectly weighted cross into the box. The unmarked Chukwueze, making a clinical run into the box, headed the ball past Celta Vigo goalkeeper Nauhir Leniz to give Villarreal the lead once again.

Chukwueze's second goal of the season came in the 65th minute, this time from a well-timed run into the box after a clever through ball from Cazorla. Villarreal's defense held firm, repelling a late surge from Celta Vigo, who couldn't find an equalizer despite pressure.

The victory, coupled with their recent form, has propelled Villarreal into the upper half of the table, with Emery's men now 7th after this win. Chukwueze, whose goal-scoring form has been a cornerstone of Villarreal's recent success, was praised by the manager post-match for his contribution.

Emery highlighted the importance of the three points and the team's resilience in overcoming a tough opponent. With the season still young, Villarreal will look to build on this performance as they aim for a strong finish to the campaign.
