BARCELONA (REUTERS) - Barcelona secured a much-needed 2-1 victory at home to Villarreal in La Liga on Tuesday (Sept 24), racing into a two-goal lead inside 15 minutes before hanging on after Santi Cazorla halved the deficit on the stroke of halftime.

The victory was marred by the sight of Barca talisman Lionel Messi, making his first start of the season, receiving lengthy treatment for a blow to his thigh in the first period before being replaced at halftime by Ousmane Dembele.

Antoine Griezmann headed Barcelona in front after six minutes, darting in at the near post to meet a Messi corner.
