Franck Kessie scored a late goal as Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-1 on Sunday in El-clasico to open 12 points gap at the top of La Liga.
Madrid took the lead on nine minutes through an own-goal.
It was an unlucky moment for Ronald Araujo, who tried to clear a cross into the six-yard box but headed the ball behind his own keeper.
Sergi Roberto equalised for Barcelona. He was in the right place at the right time to get to the rebound inside the box and gleefully rifled the ball into the right side of the goal.
Madrid looked to have double their lead but VAR ruled out the goal for offside.
Marco Asensio received a delightful pass inside the box and smashed a low shot into the bottom left corner, but it was ruled offside.
Two minutes into added time, Barcelona struck to make it 2-1. Alejandro Balde fed Franck Kessie, who tapped the ball into an empty net.
