Villa nails winner as Barca equals best start ever

[Barcaman]

David Villa scored in injury time after Cesc Fabregas netted a brace to give FC Barcelona a dramatic 3-2 comeback win against 10-man Sevilla on Saturday, equaling Catalans best league start ever with six straight wins.

Sevilla went ahead through goals by Piotr Trochowski and Alvaro Negredo before Fabregas pulled one back for Barcelona in the 53rd minute.

Sevilla was reduced to 10 men after Gary Medel was sent off in the 72nd, and Fabregas fired in Lionel Messi's pass one minute from time.

Villa then collected another Messi pass, used one touch to open space, and fired in the winner three minutes into added time.

Starting to look like good ol' Villa. focused, quick thinker, sharp and that's after a year full of rust. hopefully he'll get more than 10-15 minutes per game.

“I’m very pleased with my performance because I’m playing at the team’s level. All the players are scoring goals, hard work pays off. I’m sticking with how well we adapted to a cold pitch. This is a well-deserved victory.
