But victory came at a huge cost for Gareth Bale as he went off injured following a recurrence of his ankle injury three minutes from time.
A goalless, if entertaining, first half was overshadowed by an injury to Villarreal goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo.

But early in the second half, Asenjo’s bad luck appeared to have rallied Villarreal.
