Barcelona fight back to sink Oviedo as Elche snatch late draw at Osasuna

Barcelona stayed unbeaten in La Liga after a hard-fought 3–1 win over Real Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere.

The hosts stunned the Catalans in the 33rd minute when goalkeeper Joan García, starting in place of Marc-André ter Stegen, misplayed a pass and gifted possession to Alberto Reina, who calmly struck from distance into an empty net.

After a sluggish first half, Barça came alive after the break. Eric García equalized in the 56th minute, reacting quickest to a rebound inside the box. Fourteen minutes later, Robert Lewandowski rose to meet a Frenkie de Jong cross, heading in to turn the game around.

With Oviedo chasing the match, Ronald Araújo sealed victory in the 88th minute with a towering header from a Marcus Rashford corner.

The win keeps Barcelona just two points adrift of leaders Real Madrid.

Earlier in Pamplona, Elche salvaged a 1–1 draw against Osasuna thanks to a stoppage-time equalizer.

Osasuna thought they had done enough to secure three points, but a moment of indecision from goalkeeper Sergio Herrera proved costly. Charging out to clear a loose ball in the 92nd minute, Herrera failed to make contact, allowing Adrià Pedrosa to slot into an open net.

The result leaves Osasuna frustrated after dominating large spells, while Elche head home buoyed by a valuable away point as they continue adjusting to life back in the top flight.
