Two and a half months after his last start, Paco Alcacer returned to Barca's starting line-up for the game against Sevilla at the Camp Nou and he wasted no time getting on the scoresheet.

The game saw Barca launch a blitzkrieg on the Sevilla goal in the opening minutes, only for the Andalusians to somehow weather the storm.

That changed after 23 minutes though, as Alcacer seized on an error from Sergio Excudero to slot past David Soria from just inside the box.

It was a composed finish from a man who hasn't had very much first-team action of late.

Alcacer had been a surprise inclusion in the Barca team but he certainly repaid Ernesto Valverde's faith in him.
