Barcelona wins it late at Villarreal
Xavi made it back-to-back LaLiga wins since his appointment as Barcelona head coach as late goals from Memphis Depay and Philippe Coutinho secured a 3-1 win over Villarreal.
The former Barca midfielder oversaw a 1-0 win over Espanyol last weekend after taking over the reins from Ronald Koeman, but it looked like he would be denied all three points at Estadio de la Ceramica when Samuel Chukwueze cancelled out Frenkie de Jong's opener.
Depay had other ideas, though, stroking the ball home with two minutes remaining to spark jubilant celebrations from Xavi on the Barca bench, before Coutinho added a third from the penalty spot in stoppage-time.
The result puts seventh-placed Barca seven points behind leader Real Madrid, which has a game in hand, while Villarreal stays 12th.
