Kenneth Omeruo is delighted to make his first LaLiga start in Leganes’ 1-1 draw with Valencia at Mestalla on Saturday.
The defender joined the Cucumber Growers in the summer on loan from Chelsea. and he made his debut as a substitute for the side against Rayo Vallecano on October 6 but was afforded a starting role against Marcelino’s men and featured for 70 minutes before he was replaced by Raul Garcia.
Gerard Gumbau’s strike from the penalty spot was cancelled out by Jose Luis Gaya’s effort as the Oranges held visiting Mauricio Pellegrino’s men.
