Sevilla manager, Garcia Pimienta, has heaped plaudits on Chidera Ejuke following the winger’s match-winning heroics against Real Sociedad.
Ejuke scored the decisive goal for the Rojiblancos in the 1-0 victory over their hosts at the Reale Arena on Sunday night.
The 27-year-old struck in the 47th minute after he was set up by captain Saul.
It was the former Royal Antwerp’s player second goal of the campaign for Sevilla.
Pimienta eulogised Ejuke for the role he played in the hard-earned win.
“When he (Ejuke) got injured he was in great form. He was practically out for three months, with what that means to then get back into shape,” Pimienta told the club’s official website.
“The opportunity has come for Ejuke, who did very well.
“He had some very good minutes also on a defensive level for the team. We are very happy for him too.”
