Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal was delighted to prove the matchwinner for victory at Real Valladolid.

The Chilean notched his eighth goal of the campaign in LaLiga Santander with the only goal of the game in the Blaugrana's 1-0 win against Real Valladolid.

"I'm putting in good performances," Vidal said at full-time.

"The important thing is that [my goal] helped us get three points, which was very difficult.

"I hope to keep scoring."

Barcelona struggled in the second half at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla and had to rely on Marc-Andre ter Stegen to help them out.

"When we have control, teams play to catch us out and try to score," Vidal said.

"Marc is doing a good job and he's helping us."
