The Super Eagles star dubbed the new Jay Jay Okocha was in his usual element as Kelechi Iheanacho-less Sevilla dropped further points in LaLiga.
Overlooked Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke was in action while Kelechi Iheanacho watched from the bench as Sevilla continued their free fall in the LaLiga against Girona.
Ejuke proved a handful once again for LaLiga defenders but it was not enough to stop his Sevilla from going down 2-0 at home to last season’s surprise package on Sunday evening.

The 26-year-old played from start to finish and looked lively throughout the entertaining encounter at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez.
Ejuke, dubbed the new Jay Jay Okocha during his time in Belgium, was at his creative best again after his performance the last time.
He created three chances against Girona, the most in the match, made three key passes and also completed the most dribbles (four).
However, despite his lively display, it was the visitors who netted the decisive goals in either half to take the win and all three points.
While Ejuke featured for 90 minutes, his compatriot Iheanacho was just a mere spectator and watched his teammates struggle at home from the bench.
Following the defeat, Sevilla have now lost two and drawn two of their last four matches in the league while Girona have extended their run to two wins in the last two matches.
For Super Eagles star, Ejuke, overlooked for the latest Nigeria squad, he has played three matches for Sevilla this season and started in two of them.
