Raphinha scored a penalty in the eighth minute of stoppage time as La Liga leaders Barcelona completed a remarkable comeback to beat Celta Vigo 4-3.
The Brazil forward scored with almost the last kick of the game after a video assistant referee (VAR) review ruled that Dani Olmo was tripped inside the area.
Hansi Flick’s side had been staring at a shock home defeat after 62 minutes, with Borja Iglesias’ hat-trick wiping out Ferran Torres’ early finish to give the visitors a 3-1 lead.
Barcelona regrouped and scored two goals in four second-half minutes – through Dani Olmo and Raphinha – to get back level and piled on the pressure.
It appeared as though Celta had weathered the storm and were going to see out the game for a point but then Olmo was tripped, the penalty was given on VAR advice and Raphinha stepped up to score.
The win extends Barcelona’s lead over second-placed Real Madrid to seven points, before Los Blancos host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
