Celta Vigo 1 - 2 Barcelona : Last-gasp Lewandowski penalty gives Barcelona win

Robert Lewandowski's penalty deep into added time earned Barcelona a fortunate 2-1 win at Celta Vigo in LaLiga on Saturday ahead of their Champions League game at Napoli.

It was another uninspired performance by Barcelona until a moment of brilliance from Lewandowski gave the visitors the lead just before half-time.

Winger Lamine Yamal found the Poland forward on the edge of the box and he made space with the outside of his boot to fire a bullet strike past goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

Under pressure in 17th place, fourth bottom and three points above the relegation zone, Rafa Benitez's side fought back to level in the 47th minute when Iago Aspas netted a deflected strike past keeper Marc-André ter Stegen.

Celta were pushing for victory with Aspas missing three clear chances before defender Fran Beltrán made a bad mistake, missing the ball completely in a clearance attempt and hitting Yamal's leg in the 93rd minute to give Lewandowski his chance seven minutes into stoppage time.

Vicente Guaita saved his first effort, but the VAR check showed the keeper was in front of the goalline before the ball left the spot and Lewandowski tucked away his second effort.
