The 16-year-old came as a substitute at half-time and made it 1-1 six minutes later, burying Carles Perez's cross with a fine header.

It was a historic moment for Fati, who last week became the second-youngest player to appear for Barca in the top flight in the 5-2 defeat of Real Betis at Camp Nou.
