Three talking points from Villarreal 3-4 Barcelona

Barcelona and Villarreal played out a rollercoaster game on Sunday that saw the lead change hands on a couple of occasions and the visitors run out 4-3 winners.

It was a chaotic, at times very messy game, but amid it all 16-year-old Lamine Yamal shone the brightest on the right flank for Barcelona.

There’s been plenty of talk about Yamal already despite his tender years, but he’s living up to the early hype alright in the Barcelona first team.

Yamal grabbed his first assist to secure the opening goal for Barcelona through Gavi. A cross into the back post was met firmly by the teenager who directed a header back across goal and into the net.
