La Liga Matchday 3 Round-up: Ansu Fati stars in easy Barcelona win; Luis Suarez scores on Atletico debut

Barcelona’s teenage sensation Ansu Fati was in inspirational form for the Catalans as he combined with Jordi Alba to score the first goal in the 15th minute and then struck again four minutes later with another ice-cool finish.

Fati, the 17-year-old in his second season in Barca’s first team after he rose to the senior team from the club’s youth set-up, then won the penalty to set up the third goal in the 35th minute.

Lionel Messi was back in scoring business for Barcelona on Sunday as he stepped up to take the penalty Fati won to lead them to a resounding 4-0 win at home against Villarreal in a near-perfect La Liga opener under new coach, Ronald Koeman.

Angel Correa and Joao Felix both scored in the second half before Suarez’s introduction, and he made an immediate impact by laying on for Marcos Llorente to add a fourth.
