Dembele grabbed a deserved goal in the 87th by knocking in from close range after a stunning individual run from substitute Ivan Rakitic. Dembele, 20, then delighted the home fans with a virtuoso individual run and stylish dink over goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo to complete the drubbing in stoppage time. His side, however, were still far too good for Villarreal, who are sixth in the Liga standings. The champions moved on to 90 points, stretching their gap over second-placed Atletico Madrid to 15 points after 36 games. Barca are two matches away from becoming the first team in La Liga since 1933 to complete a season without losing and the first since the league was expanded from nine teams.
