Celta Vigo came back from three goals down to hold Barcelona to 3-3 draw on Saturday in a La Liga match.
Barcelona ran to 3-0 lead on first half of the match, but Celta Vigo scored three goals in the second half in a great comeback.
The visitors were in front on five minutes from Ansu Fati’s goal. He made a great solo run and pulled the trigger from inside the box, beating Matias Dituro with a strike into the right side of the goal.
Sergio Busquets doubled Barcelona’s lead on 18 minutes after he collected a pass and without hesitation fired an unstoppable shot inside the right post.
The visitors were 3-0 up on 34 minutes from a Memphis Depay’s goal. He ran onto a clever lofted pass from Jordi Alba and easily beat the keeper with a header into the bottom right corner from close range.
Celta Vigo hit one back on 52 minutes through Iago Aspas, as he reacted fast to the rebound and stabbed the ball into the back of the net.
The homers added a second goal on 74 minutes through Nolito. Nolito scored from a quite difficult position as he leapt high to connect with a cross and powered his header low inside the left post.
Then Iago Aspas got his brace on added time to make it 3-3. He struck the ball towards goal after latching onto a defence-splitting pass on the edge of the penalty box and his shot sailed inside the right post to leave the goalkeeper completely stranded.
