Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze dropped a scintillating performance against Real Madrid setting football Twitter ablaze with over 11,000 tweets pouring in to hail his heroics.
Chukwueze put on a masterclass display as Villarreal stunned Real Madrid with a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Nigerian international was the standout performer, scoring two spectacular goals and providing one assist to help his side overturn a 2-1 deficit. Chukwueze was also the most successful dribbler in the match with six successful dribbles and won an impressive 10 out of 11 ground duels.
Fans have taken to social media to praise his outstanding display, while others have wondered why he has failed to replicate such form with the Super Eagles.
Here are some reactions from Twitter
@Bayoradegboyega See Samuel Chukwueze sending Nacho to the wilderness, I have always maintained that this boy is talented, just some finesse in his finishing and Arjen Robben is back playing football.

@nyannthierry Nigeria are blessed with loads of talent — Samuel Chukwueze is one of the many talents
@DAMIADENUGA This guy is a better player than Antony. Samuel Chukwueze is his name so they’ll say he’s not worth 100m too.

@Desmund_Oris Samuel Chukwueze owns Real Madrid. A Nigerian came and Benzema was nowhere to be found.
Samuel Chukwueze is a fantastic player on his day but his biggest challenge is inconsistency.
How we don't see this his brilliant Villarreal side often at the Super Eagles level is shocking.

@JohnBennettBBC Just watching the Samuel Chukwueze goals v Real Madrid. Wow! Incredible. The winner was an absolute stunner. Awesome technique. No keeper is saving that.
@Blessing_AndrewIs the Super Eagles Samuel Chukwueze the same person as this one that just scored a brace against Real Madrid?
