Barcelona Strikes Back to Win 4-3 Against Villarreal

Barcelona staged a thrilling comeback to secure a 4-3 victory against hosts Villarreal in La Liga, with Robert Lewandowski, last season's top scorer, netting the winning goal late in the game on Sunday. Barcelona took an early lead with two goals from Gavi and Frenkie de Jong within two minutes, but Villarreal responded with two first-half goals from Juan Foyth and Alexander Sørloth, before Alex Baena added a third for Villarreal just five minutes into the second half. Substitute Ferran Torres equalized for Barcelona with a close-range shot in the 68th minute. Lewandowski then scored the winning goal, following up a shot that rebounded off the post to secure three points for his team after an exciting match. This victory marks Barcelona's second win in three matches this season, leaving the team in third place in the league standings with seven points, tied with Girona and two points behind league leaders Real Madrid.
