Rayo Vallecano 1 - 0 Barcelona : Barcelona loses to Rayo on Falcao goal, prompts Ronald Koeman firing
Barcelona have suffered back-to-back defeats in LaLiga as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday, which prompted the firing of Ronald Koeman as coach after the result.
The defeat -- Barca's third of the season -- comes just days after they had been beaten 2-1 against Real Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday.
Striker Radamel Falcao fired Rayo into the lead on 30 minutes after a frantic start, the 35-year-old picking the ball up on a quick breakaway before slotting past goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Barca dominated possession but struggled to mount attacking pressure for much of the match -- the side's first shot on target came on 71 minutes when Memphis Depay stepped up to take a penalty, but Rayo goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski saved the attempt.
