Barcelona fell behind to Real Oviedo in the first half of their La Liga clash, but they have now leading at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere.

Hansi Flick’s side were under the cosh in the early stages, but after getting through that, they could – and should – have scored. Marcus Rashford was denied twice by Oviedo goalkeeper Aaron Escandell, while Raphinha hit the post with a long-range strike.

Barcelona’s inability to score the opener cost them as Oviedo hit the front – and it was a moment that Joan Garcia will not want to see again. He came out of his box to collect a ball in behind, but after controlling it, he misplaced a pass that allowed Alberto Reina to score from 35 yards.

But 10 minutes into the second period, Barcelona got back level as Eric Garcia was on hand to bundle the ball home after a stramash inside the Oviedo penalty area. And they have now completed the comeback courtesy of substitute Robert Lewandowski, who headed home from Frenkie de Jong’s cross.

Lewandowski was dropped to the bench for this one in favour of Ferran Torres starting as the number nine, but he has made the difference for Barcelona. It is a wonderful finish from the 37-year-old, who continues to prove that age is just a number.

Can Barcelona hang on to cut Real Madrid’s lead?

Should Barcelona see out the remaining minutes to secure the victory, they would close the gap to Real Madrid to two points – which could be crucial ahead of the Madrid derby this weekend. It would be a big morale boost if the Catalans were to hang on, given that this has been a very tough contest.

It remains to be seen whether they can see it out, but Oviedo are running out of time to stage a fightback.
