Emery was full of praise for Chukwueze’s talent and quality, but he wants the versatile forward to work more on his finishing after he equalled the three goals he scored in the Spanish top-flight last season.
“He’s a very young player who has to find consistency,” Emery told the club website about the Nigeria winger. “We need to take steps forward with him and be demanding.
“He’s a footballer with great quality. He has a lot of talent, but he needs to improve in front of goal. Today he put in a great performance and managed to score.”

Before now, Real Betis was his favourite side having found the net against them on six occasions.
In the keenly contested affair, En-Nesyri lined up in attack alongside Susu and Argentina ace Lucas Ocampos to dent the aspirations of Imanol Alguacil’s men – who are also in the race to emerge as Spanish kings.
As it proved a slow start for Julen Lopetegui’s team, they conceded first in the fifth minute through Carlos Fernandez. Benefiting from a cross from Aritz Elustondo, the Spaniard was well composed to rifle the ball past goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
In the 22nd minute, Sevilla levelled matters courtesy of Fernando. The Brazilian midfielder capitalised on a shambolic defending by his marker to slot the ball past goalkeeper Alex Remiro.
