Xavi passionately celebrates Barcelona victory against Chukwueze’s Villarreal
Xavi Hernandez claimed his second win as Barcelona manager in 3-1 victory away at Villarreal.
Goals from Frenkie De Jong, Memphis Depay and Phillippe Coutinho saw the Blaugrana pick up a crucial three points on the road, and helped restore some confidence to a squad desperately lacking any.
They didn’t make it easy for themselves, leaving it until the 88th minute before Memphis took full advantage of a poor defensive header and made it 2-1 to the away side.
