Villarreal vs Barcelona, La Liga: Final Score 1-4, Messi, Griezmann shine in big win

Barcelona returned to winning ways in some style on Sunday with an impressive 4-1 victory over in-form Villarreal.

An early own goal set the visitors on their way but they were quickly pegged back when Gerard Moreno equalised.

Luis Suarez then restored their lead with a brilliant finish before Antoine Griezmann went one better with a cheeky dink to make it 3-1.

Substitute Ansu Fati added Barcelona’s fourth late on to seal all three points for the visitors.

FIRST HALF

Barcelona got off to the perfect start when Pau Torres put past his own goalkeeper from close range after just three minutes.
