He was in fact, rated 7.0 by sofascore with just Francis Coquelin 7.2, Moi Gomez 7.2 and goalscorer Gerard Moreno 8.2 the only Villarreal players with better ratings.
Kelechi Nwakali was introduced in the second half and he played for 28 minutes. The former Arsenal player also gave a good account of himself.
