French midfielder, Francis Coquelin has hailed Nigeria and Villareal teammate, Samuel Chukuweze after the winger helped set him up for his debut goal in their 2-0 win over Real Sociedad in a preseason friendly, AOIFootball.com reports. The Eagles winger started his third preseason game having scored in last Friday’s 2-1 loss against Valencia as the Yellow Submarines prepare for the 2020/20201 season. The match started with full intensity and in the first minute, the Yellows went ahead through a low Coquelin effort which went just inside the post after a great ball recovery from Samuel Chukwueze. Emery’s side were comfortable with and without the ball, and although Real Sociedad tried to react, Sergio Asenjo saved a penalty and it was the Submarines that scored once more around the half-hour mark, after a nice piece of play from Moi Gómez, who was brought down and Alcácer stepped up to fire home from the spot.
