Chukwueze's Villarreal keep the gap to the top four at five points thanks to heroics from their Senegal international.
Senegal international Nicolas Jackson's tremendous form continues as he scored twice in Villarreal's 2-0 victory over Cadiz.
The Yellow Submarines hosted their namesakes at Estadio la Ceramica as they looked to keep the possibilities of leap-frogging fourth-placed Real Sociedad for a ticket into Europe's elite competition alive. Their young striker scored his seventh and eighth goals in his last six league games to keep them on track.
How it happened
Villarreal have been on sensational form lately, and it is thanks in part to Jackson, who was set for a move to Bournemouth in the summer before a failed medical caused the move to break down.
