    Villarreal 1-2 Barcelona

    It's all gone a bit quiet but you sense both teams have more to give. Barca seem content to let Villarreal come at them and then hit them on the break. A half chance for Griezmann to get his hat-trick but he cannot make a clean connection.

    Paco Alcacer wins a corner for Villarreal. It's played short before a cross is swung in but it comes to nothing. The home team are still very much in this.

    Antoine Griezmann adds a yellow card to his two goals. There's been one or two meaty challenges since the re-start while Gerard Moreno has had a tame header saved.

    This is definitely turning into a game to forget for Juan Foyth. He carelessly gives the ball straight to a Barcelona shirt before committing a foul trying to win it back.

    Antoine Griezmann can become the first player representing France to score a La Liga hat-trick for Barcelona since Thierry Henry in a 4-0 home win over Valencia on 6 December 2008.

    In case you missed it, Real Madrid's title hopes were dented as Zinedine Zidane's side were held to a goalless draw at home to Real Betis on Saturday.

    Rodrygo struck the crossbar with a mis-hit cross as the defending champions laboured against Manuel Pellegrini's Europa League hopefuls.

    Guido Rodriguez was denied by Thibaut Courtois with Betis' best chance.

    Villarreal 1-2 Antoine Griezmann.

    Griezmann's on fire! A clever back-heel by Frenkie de Jong sets up a big chance and he lashes towards the net but the keeper is down to block.

    Barca have their noses in front and are controlling the game with half-time looming. What does Unai Emergy say to Juan Foyth after such a huge error?

  15. Postpublished at 38 mins

    Villarreal 1-2 Barcelona

    Griezmann is on a hat-trick. He's has yet to score one in La Liga for Barca. That could all change today.

    Villarreal 1-2 Barcelona

    Having taken the lead, Villarreal have conceded twice in the space of seven minutes. That was an awful moment for Villarreal's on loan defender from Tottenham.

    Antoine Griezmann

    What a gift!

    Juan Foyth attempts a back pass to his keeper but he under-hits it badly and Antoine Griezmann pounces to steer it into the back of the net.

    Unai Emery looks bewildered. He cannot believe what he has just seen.

    There were only 87 seconds between Samuel Chukwueze's opener and Antoine Griezmann's equaliser.

    This game is certainly living up to its pre-match billing. Two teams going for it. Two gorgeous goals.

    Antoine Griezmann

    A first-class response and a world-class finish from Antoine Griezmann straight from the re-start.

    It's another peach of a pass this time from Oscar Mingueza but the finish is unbelievable as Griezmann dinks it past the keeper from an angle.

    Pure quality.
