Scores in opener
Gueye scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Racing Santander. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 72nd minute.
Analysis: Gueye made his first league start under new head coach Inigo Perez and had a hand in Villarreal's comeback from two goals down, cutting the deficit with a low strike from distance in first half stoppage time that paved the way for Nicolas Pepe's leveler shortly after. Gueye continues to showcase his ability to score from range and also created two other chances in the game.
Back in action in friendly
Gueye (undisclosed) played 80 minutes in Saturday's clash against Galatasaray.
Analysis: Gueye took his usual spot as a defensive midfielder Saturday, marking his comeback from a short injury absence. Following a notable World Cup run with Senegal, Gueye looks set to feature as an all-around contributor with high passing numbers and occasional shooting upside for his club. His presence alongside Santi Comesana leaves Alassane Diatta in a backup role for now.
