Ansu Fati was finally back in the goals for Barcelona after a tough week which had seen his father publicly criticise Xavi and the club for not playing his son regularly this season.
A start against Elche always looked likely, with Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele out, and Ansu shook off a disappointing first half showing to end his long wait for a La Liga goal.
The youngster hadn’t scored in the Spanish top flight since October but made it 2-0 with a fine strike.
A cute pass from Ferran Torres sent him running through on goal, and he came up with the goods, firing a clinical shot across goal and into the far corner.
