"Barcelona fought back from a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 at Levante with a late own-goal by the hosts in La Liga. Defending champions Barcelona needed Pedri Gonzalez and Ferran Torres to score early in the second half to equalise after the newly promoted Levante had rolled to a surprise two-goal lead at halftime on Saturday. Lamine Yamal then helped to produce the winning goal when he curled a cross into the 6-yard box, and Levante's Unai Elgezabal headed into his own net."
"But Pedri started the fightback in the 49th when he received Yamal's pass well outside the area, picked his spot in the corner of the net and blasted in a shot from long range. Ferran, who had hit the woodwork in the first half, levelled in the 52nd when he fended off his marker and volleyed in Raphinha's corner kick."
Barcelona overturned a two-goal halftime deficit to beat Levante 3-2 in La Liga via a late own-goal. Levante opened scoring through Ivan Romero's 15th-minute counterattack and Jose Luis Morales converted a first-half penalty after a VAR handball call on Alejandro Balde. Pedri reduced the deficit with a long-range strike in the 49th and Ferran Torres equalised in the 52nd from Raphinha's corner. Lamine Yamal delivered the decisive cross that led to Unai Elgezabal heading into his own net. Marcus Rashford made his first league start for Barcelona since joining on loan.
