HT: Villarreal 1-2 Barcelona… Chukwueze hands the Yellow Submarine hope

A breathless start in the match between relegation strugglers Villarreal and Barcelona in Castellon, but the Catalans are ahead in the first 45 minutes with 2-1 scoreline.

Philippe Coutinho’s close range finish on 12 minutes and Malcom’s header four minutes later had looked to have put the away side in the clear ascendancy.

However the hosts hit back through the impressive Samuel Chukwueze, with the Nigerian international causing problems for the Catalan defence.
