Video: Ansu Fati Scores Sensational Goal for Barcelona After His Dad Threatened to Take Him Away

• Ansu Fati starred as Barcelona secured a resounding victory against bottom-of-the-table Elche on Saturday night
• He put in a sterling performance to remind everyone why he was touted as the next big thing from La Masia
• Barca have now gone 15 points clear at the top of the table for at least one day and are one step closer to the La Liga title after the win

Ansu Fati put up a scintillating performance as Barcelona blazed past Elche on Saturday at the Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero.

The 20-year-old Spaniard, who lasted 83 minutes in the 4-0 rout, capped his display with a spectacular goal as he made his first start since March 3 against Valencia.

Fati has struggled with his form and fitness and has fallen to Barcelona's bench under Xavi.

However, after he was reinstated to the starting lineup, he repaid the confidence posed in him by his coach with a modest performance, per 90Min.
