Barcelona scored two goals in the final minutes to win 3-1 against Villarreal on Saturday, marking their first away victory this season and the second consecutive win for new coach Xavi Hernández in La Liga. Memphis Depay calmly dribbled past goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli to net a crucial goal in the 88th minute, giving Barcelona a 2-1 lead. Philippe Coutinho then added a third goal from a penalty in stoppage time. Barcelona increased their points tally to 23, seven points behind leaders Real Madrid, who face Sevilla on Sunday. Villarreal fought to equalize after falling behind, with Samuel Chukwueze scoring in the 76th minute, having earlier seen Frenkie de Jong put the visitors ahead early in the second half. Villarreal, who lost at home to Manchester United in the Champions League last Tuesday, remains in 12th place with 16 points from 14 matches.
