Barcelona looked to be cruising to victory in their league match against Villarreal on Wednesday night but the visitors hit back in the second half to make the score 3-1.

Barcelona stormed to a 3-0 lead just before half-time thanks to goals from Philippe Coutinho, Paulinho and Lionel Messi.

However, the 'Yellow Submarines' came out all guns blazing in the second 45 minutes and clawed one back through substitute Nicola Sansone.

After coming on during the interval, the forward was struck by Pablo Fornals' effort and deflected it goalwards. Sansone watched on as the ball trickled past Jasper Cillessen and into the back of the net.
