Ejuke came off the bench to score a late winner for Sevilla in their 2-1 win at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Sevilla took the lead against Real Valladolid thanks to an own goal from David Torres after a dangerous cross into the box by Dodi Lukebakio at the dead of halftime.
Valladolid restored parity on 56 minutes through Kike Perez who scored his first goal of the season after a well-worked-out goal.
Six minutes later, Kelechi Iheanacho who started the encounter for Sevilla substituted as Chidera Ejuke came in. Four minutes later, Ejuke pulled a save from the goalkeeper.
He eventually scored after Sevilla intercepted the ball as a pass was led to Ejuke, who hit the ball at the bottom right corner after taking on Valladolid's defenders five minutes before the match's end.
