Things got even better for the supremely talented Barcelona attacker in the second half.
Villarreal pulled a goal back through Pape Gueye before Lamine restored the Blaugrana's two-goal lead, racing behind the defence and chipping into the bottom corner.
It was a trademark composed finish as Lamine became the youngest player to score a LaLiga hat-trick this century. It's also the first hat-trick of his career!
