Nigerian midfielder Chrisantus Uche has been included in the official La Liga team of the week for Matchday 37 after his impressive performance in Getafe’s 2-1 win over Mallorca.

Chrisantus Uche, 22, was unstoppable against Mallorca, scoring his fourth league goal of the season and what proved to be the winner in the 65th minute after Mauro Arambarri had opened the scoring earlier in the second half.

Asides from his goal, Chrisantus Uche also worked tirelessly off the ball, completing the second most tackles in the game (3) while making four recoveries, as well as winning five out of seven ground duels and six out of eight aerial duels.

His performance played a key role in Getafe claiming the vital win, a result that secured their top-flight status as they are no longer in danger of getting relegated.

The team of the week features top performers from the weekend’s La liga games including Sergio Herrera (Osasuna) in goal and a back three of Nahuel Tenaglia (Alaves), Daniel Vivian (Athletic Bilbao), and Adrià Altimira (Leganes).

Uche joins an elite company of midfielders including Luka Modric (Real Madrid), Pablo Fornals (Real Betis), Isi Palazon (Rayo Vallecano), and Santi Comesana (Villarreal) while Julián Alvarez (Atletico Madrid) and Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad) lead the attack.
