An injured Samuel Chukwueze still joined in Villarreal celebrations following their passage to the Europa League final after playing a 0-0 draw against Arsenal in the second leg of their semifinal clash.

The former Golden Eaglets star was given help by Vicente Iborra, who carried him on his back to ensure he does not miss out on the celebrations.
