After some treatment, Chukwueze is back on his feet and is ready to continue. Alba got away with one there. Chukwueze has given Barca problems and that looked like a deliberate rough tackle.

Chukwueze is down! The Villarreal forward has been clattered by Alba. The Barcelona left back has somehow escaped without a yellow card. Alba should have been booked for that!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Villarreal 1 Barcelona 2 (35 mins - Antoine Griezmann). A gift and Griezmann has a second! Foyth didn't spot the Frenchman as he played the backpass to Asenjo and he pounced, firing home! What a calamity for Villarreal who have allowed their lead to slip through their fingers!

Griezmann was exceptional in the Copa del Rey final win over Athletic Club last weekend. The Frenchman has suffered inconsistencies this season, but he has contributed.
