Barcelona will go four points clear at the top of La Liga with victory over Villarreal, and they are on course to do so after taking the lead at the Spotify Camp Nou.
It has been a frustrating opening half hour for the Catalans, who have had a couple of big chances to score. Ferran Torres and Jules Kounde could not take advantage, but fortunately for the vast majority of supporters inside the Spotify Camp Nou, Lamine Yamal has taken his opportunity on 28 minutes.
After a mistake in the Villarreal midfield, Fermin Lopez took the ball before slipping in Lamine Yamal, who finishes low beyond Luiz Junior.
After three matches without a goal, Lamine Yamal will be relieved to find himself back on the scoresheet for Barcelona. He has been lively in the opening stages, and after being denied by Junior earlier in the half, he made no mistake when presented with a clearer opportunity. They may be without key midfielder Frenkie de Jong for this one, but so far, his absence has not had a major effect.
