Juan Foyth gifted Antoine Griezmann a goal which ended up in the back of the net to turn the scoreline around at the Estadio de la Cerámica. The Frenchman had drawn the scores level just six minutes earlier.

If you gift anthing to Barcelona, you're in trouble. If not, you'll have a bad time at the very least. But if their rivals give them gifts like Foyth did, it becomes more than an uphill task.

Chukwueze had opened the scoring on 26 minutes, but Griezmann equalised just two minutes later. And seven minutes after that, the Frenchman received a treat from Villarreal that completed the Barca comeback in the first half.

Foyth wanted to play the ball back to Asenjo, but he did so without looking behind him. He didn't lift his head up from the ball and so didn't see Barca's number 7 who latched on to the ball to face up one-on-one with Asenjo.

The Frenchman didn't overcomplicate things and finished perfectly in the bottom corner to make it 12 in the 35th minute. Griezmann expressed his glee for scoring his rapid brace by showing off his now well-known dance celebration.
