Barça striker Ansu Fati only needs one minute to score a goal

The forward stepped up his return from an injury with a big goal in Betis win

Ansu Fati knows where the goal is. The Barcelona forward scored in his second game back on Saturday in the 2-1 win over Real Betis as Xavi's side confirmed their place in next season's Champions League.

Ansu made his return against Mallorca last weekend and came on with just over 15 minutes to play against Real Betis with the score still goalless.

He came on in the 74th minute and in the 75th opened the scoring. The first ball he touched resulted in danger for Betis and the second ended up in the net.

The Spain forward, 19, turned Marc Bartra on the edge of the box and his early shot caught goalkeeper Rui Silva unaware on its way in.

Ansu has now scored six goals this season in just 12 appearances. Four have come in the league, one in the Champions League and another in the Spanish Super Cup.

His last goal, in fact, was that Super Cup goal against Real Madrid on Jan. 12 before he got injured in the Copa del Rey at San Mames against Athletic Club a week later.
