Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo has continued to impress on loan at Spanish side Leganes from Chelsea.
The Nigerian played in the 1-1 draw with Sevilla at the weekend, and was given a 3/3 spades rating in Spanish paper AS’s rather odd ranking system, as well as the man of the match award.
The underdog side defended superbly against title-chasing Seville, but conceded in the final minute.
His stats for the game were superb:
Kenneth Omeruo v Sevilla
52 Touches
87% Pass Accuracy
32 Passes
3/4 Long Balls
2/2 Tackles
4 Interceptions
11 Clearances
2 Blocks
2/2 Aerials Duels

With the Nigerian defender at the heart of it, this plucky Leganes side are now unbeaten in 8 games.
That’s a great record, and it’s based on the rock-solid defence that the Nigerian is part of.
The 25-year-old has featured 10 times for the modest side – starting nine of those.
