WATCH: Ronald Araujo seals the points for Barcelona against Real Oviedo | OneFootball

Barcelona fell behind to Real Oviedo in the first half of their La Liga clash, but they have now all-but secured the victory 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 soon after, they completed the comeback courtesy of substitute Robert Lewandowski, who headed home from Frenkie de Jong’s cross.

And with minutes to go, Ronald Araujo has sealed the points for Barcelona with a fine header of his own from Rashford’s corner.

Araujo has had a good game in Asturias, continuing his good form from recent weeks. It is a deserved goal for him, and it will give him more confidence to take into the coming matches for Barcelona.

Barcelona show grit to secure comeback victory

Barcelona are so good at coming from behind in matches, and this is another case of Hansi Flick’s side showing grit and determination. The result means that they have closed the gap to Real Madrid back to two points ahead of the weekend’s fixtures, where they face Sergio Francisco’s Real Sociedad side at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Montjuic.
