Griezmann brace does it for Barcelona

An Antoine Griezmann double fired Barcelona to a 2-1 win at Villarreal on Sunday as it stayed on the heels of LaLiga leader Atletico Madrid. Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze gave Villarreal the lead in the 27th minute but Griezmann responded immediately with a coolly taken chip before pouncing on a defensive slip to put Barca in front.

Matteo Darmian was Inter Milan’s unlikely saviour once again in a 1-0 win over Hellas Verona on Sunday that moved Antonio Conte’s side a step closer to the Serie A title.
