FULL TIME: Villarreal 2-3 Barcelona
91'
We're into stoppage time here and Villarreal are pressing forward in search of an equaliser. Now it's Barcelona's turn it sit deep and soak up the pressure, although they don't look like conceding.

YELLOW CARD: Manuel Trigueros (Villarreal)
88'
Do Villarreal have anything left? They're somewhat unfortunate to be trailing given how well they've played, but there's still time for them to get something from it.
87'
This game has been fantastically entertaining, and at the end of it all it looks like it might just keep Barcelona in the title race. Great turnaround and the away team are still looking for a fourth goal.
86'
The decision has been reversed by the referee, and a freekick has been awarded, which eventually comes to nothing. Busquets looked to get a touch on the ball as he stretched to challenge Aquino. It wasn't even a foul!

GOAL! Villarreal 2 Barcelona 3 (83 mins - Lionel Messi). The comeback is complete! Busquets scoops a great pass over the top for Fabregas, who knocks it down with his head for Messi. The Barca number 10 finishes with aplomb.
82'
Can Barcelona complete a remarkable turnaround? The momentum is certainly with them now. Villarreal are hanging on for dear life.

Great save by Asenjo! Messi lines up a freekick from the edge of the box, with the tension rising around El Madrigal. Messi's effort is good but the on loan Atletico keeper makes a good diving stop.
80'
Villarreal have scored two exceptional goals tonight, but they've also scored two atrociously poor own goals. Musacchio had time to do anything with that cross, but he panicked and headed into his own net.

GOAL! Villarreal 2 Barcelona 2 (79 mins - Mateo Musacchio OG). Oh dear. Musacchio is put off by the jump of Gabriel in front of him and under pressure at all he heads into his own net.

Barcelona keep coming back, with Iniesta clipping a ball into the box. But Villarreal defend it well once again, with Musacchio clearing with his head. But Barca come back at them. Again. A pattern is emerging.
75'
Having said that, you get the feeling that if Barcelona can get one goal they could maybe find a second. The pressure continues to build on the Villarreal goal.
74'
Marcelino is out on the touchline instructing his players with manic arm gestures, while Martino is slumped back in his chair. Does he know that this is the end of the road as far as the title goes?
73'
Villarreal win a freekick on the halfway line, with Mascherno barging over Trigueros. It allows the home side to take a breather and relieve some of the pressure that had been building on their backline.
72'
Indeed, Barcelona are controlling the vast majority of possession now. Even still, the hosts look organised at the back and when crosses do come into the box Asenjo rises highest to claim.
