Fati scores on his return as Barca win to ease pressure off manager

Barcelona eased some pressure on manager Ronald Koeman with a comfortable La Liga victory over Levante at the Nou Camp.

Memphis Depay’s sixth-minute penalty gave the Catalans the lead after the Dutch forward was fouled by Nemanja Radoja.

Compatriot Luuk de Jong then raced on to Sergino Dest’s pass to score his first goal since joining on a season-long loan from Sevilla.

Substitute Ansu Fati hit the third on his return from a long-term injury.

Barcelona climb to fifth in La Liga and are five points behind leaders Real Madrid with a game in hand. Real were held by Villarreal on Saturday.
