Ikechukwu Uche scored in the dying moments at Estadio El Madrigal to give Villarreal three valuable points at the time of the club's 90th anniversary to close the gap between it and second-placed Almeria to five points.
.
Uche,axed by Super Eagles gaffer,Stephen Keshi from the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Kenya in a firthnight in Calabar,scored twice in the dying moments to ensure a 2-1 victory over Sporting Gijon.
.
The tie looked to be ending in a 1-1 draw until the 93rd minute when Bruno Soriano found Uche with a through ball at the edge of the box. With his first touch, the Nigerian striker brilliantly turned his defender. A second touch took him past the line of cover, and the third was a low left-footed shot across the Sporting keeper, off the post, and in.
.
Uche has now scored seven goals this season and Villarreal are now fourth on the table with 47 points and very much within the promotion playoff bracket.
.
The prolific striker, who struggled to find his feet at the recent Africa cup of Nations in South Africa, opened scoring in the 39th minute to put his team ahead before Gijon drew level.
.
Villarreal were relegated from the Spanish La Liga and are seeking an instant return to the top flight.
