Uche’s double helped his side beat Real Sociedad 5-1. He scored Villarreal's second goal of the game in the 27th minute and completed his brace in the 55th minute to give his team 4-0 lead.
He thus becomes only the second Nigerian to score 11 goals in a single season in La liga after Finidi's exploits in 1998/1999 season when playing for Real Betis.
Villarreal are now fifth on the league table with 34 points from 19 matches.
Uche has scored 18 goals in 44 games for Super Eagles and he is expected to be recalled for the World Cup in June.
