La Liga: Cancelo Pops Late In Barcelona’s Dramatic Comeback Win Against Celta
Joao Cancelo scored a late winner to help Barcelona overturn a two-goal deficit against Celta-Vigo at the Estadi Olympico on Saturday night.
Rafa Benitez’s Celta were on their way to inflicting the first defeat on Barca leading 2-0 with nine minutes remaining after goals from Jorgen Strand Larsen and Tasos Douvikas.
But two clinical finishes in the space of just four minutes from Robert Lewandowski rescued Barcelona’s hopes.
And Cancelo completed the comeback as he met a Gavi ball and drilled a composed volley past Ivan Millar.
Barcelona now top La Liga thanks to a superior goal difference over Girona, with both sides on 16 points.
