Villarreal 1 - 3 Barcelona : Late Memphis Depay, Philippe Coutinho goals secure back-to-back wins for Barcelona
Late goals from Memphis Depay and Philippe Coutinho secured a first away victory of the season in LaLiga for Barcelona as they made it two wins from two under Xavi Hernandez in the league by beating Villarreal 3-1 on Saturday.
Memphis took advantage of a Villarreal mistake to round goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli in the 88th minute and roll home before substitute Coutinho won and converted a stoppage-time penalty to seal the three points.
Frenkie de Jong had opened the scoring earlier in the 48th minute but Samuel Chukwueze came off the bench to level and set up a frantic final 15 minutes.
Barca remain seventh after winning back-to-back league games for the first time this campaign, but they are now within three points of the Champions League places in LaLiga.
