Arnaut Danjuma played a leading role in the first La Liga match of the season on Monday.
The Dutch striker finally scored again for Villarreal, who drew 2-2 at home to Atlético Madrid.
After eighteen minutes, Danjuma surprisingly opened the score in the Estadio de la Cerámica.
The six-time Oranje international outsmarted Alético defender Axel Witsel with a beautiful individual move, after which he shot the ball in from a difficult angle.
Atlético keeper Jan Oblak could only watch. Danjuma scored his first goal since September 2, 2023, when he was still on loan at Everton. His last goal for Villarreal dates from March 1, 2023.
Two minutes after Danjuma’s goal, Marcos Llorente scored Atlético’s equalizer, with Villareal regaining the lead after an own goal from Koke.
Deep into injury time in the first half, Alexander Sørloth scored and ended the game 2-2.
