Neymar's sensational goal vs Villarreal

At the Camp Nou, Neymar and Luis Suarez once again shone in Lionel Messi's absence as Barca overcame a few stiff first-half resistence from Villarreal to record a fourth consecutive league win. "In both aspects of play [attack and defence] we did well".

I think that if Barcelona or Real Madrid goes to the Premier League then the first year of playing there, there is no chance of winning it. Yes, I think so, because if you go to Stoke, or other types of teams, then it will be really tough.

Spurs, who took the lead through Harry Kane after 32 minutes after a defence-splitting long ball from Danny Rose, were closing in on only their second league win at Arsenal since 1993.

Sky Sports pundit and La Liga expert Guillem Balague has responded to Neymar's phenomenal recent form by stating that the Bracelona superstar Leo Messi is the only player on the planet who is better than his teammate.

Sergio Ramos's spectacular overhead kick had given Madrid the ideal start in Seville, but Ciro Immobile's equaliser 10 minutes before the break turned the game on its head.

It was his second and Barcelona's third as the Catalans looked like cantering to another easy La Liga win.

A possible turning point of the match came four minutes later, when Gerard Pique tripped an onrushing Denis Suarez and could have been adjudged last man-Villarreal players protested, but Mr. Shakira only saw a yellow card brandished, not the red.

The south American pair have scored Barcelona's last 16 goals in the Spanish top flight having won five of their seven games without the injured Messi.

Villarreal played very well for the first hour, but Neymar shot the blaugrana in front from Sergio Busquets' super assist, and Luis Suarez soon converted a penalty after Munir El-Haddadi was fouled. Neymar ensured no such let down occurred.

However, you have to say Neymar has got the ability to challenge to be the No 1 player in the world.

And Suarez was the provider when Neymar produced his highlight reel moment, racing down the left wing and clipping across a well-directed centre towards his Brazilian teammate on the edge of the penalty area.

Neymar, who scored two goals on the night, spoke of his dissatisfaction with the officiating after the fixture. "Tonight he was breathtaking".
