Barcelona moved to the top of La Liga after a 2-0 win against Villareal thanks to goals from Carles Aleña and Gerard Pique.
In what was a rather dull contest at times with Barcelona nowhere near their best, they managed to claim all three points thanks to Pique's header and Aleña's late chip.
The hosts were typically dominant in possession in the opening exchanges but it was the visitors who had the game's first clear-cut chance.
Some sloppy defending from Clément Lenglet over a bouncing ball allowed Gerard Moreno an opportunity to shoot, as the Villarreal striker smashed a shot against the post.
