Omeruo named in La Liga Team of the Week

Following his MOTM display for Madrid-based club CD Leganes over the weekend against Celta Vigo, Super Eagles midfielder Kenneth Omeruo has been named in the La Liga Santander team of the week.

 

The Chelsea loanee was also named the man of the match following a near perfect display and a last-ditch goal line clearance to help his side to a vital point in their bid to remain in the LaLiga.

According to Whoscored, the Eagles defender earned a game rating of 8.0, making him the top defender of the weekend.

Omeruo produced a game-high 10 clearances against Celta Vigo and also won 6 of his 7 duels to earn him a place in the team of the week.

The Nigerian also added to the offensive play of his team as he completed 91% of his forward passes, making him the second best passer in the match.

The Eagles utility defender has featured in 25 league games for Leganes this term.
