Uche’s double helped his side beat Real Sociedad 5-1. He scored Villarreal’s second goal of the game in the 27th minute and completed his brace in the 55th minute to give his team 4-0 lead.
He thus becomes only the second Nigerian to score 11 goals in a single season in La liga after Finidi’s exploits in 1998/1999 season when playing for Real Betis.
Villarreal is currently placed fifth on the league table with 34 points from 19 matches.
Uche has scored 18 goals in 44 games for Super Eagles and he is expected to be recalled for the World Cup in June. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Bravo Ike Uche. He is in deed one of the world cup material for our great Super Eagles and so deserve being call. Of course world cup is not and never will be a child's play, so i am expecting Coach Keshi to invite the capable players that will do Nigeria proud in the tournament. He should invite few world cup experience players to fill in the hole noticed in African Nation Cup winners and FIFA Confederation Cup players.........EKENE
