"Ronald Araujo delivered a 93rd-minute winner as Barcelona surged to the top of LaLiga with a last-gasp 2-1 win over Girona. Barcelona appeared set to miss out on taking top spot from Real Madrid, who face Getafe on Sunday, with frustrations boiling over as the Blaugrana looked to be dropping points."
"Home boss Hansi Flick was dismissed for apparent dissent in the dying embers, only for Araujo to link-up with Frenkie de Jong and fire past Paulo Gazzaniga to snatch victory in the third minute of stoppage time."
"Data Debrief: Free-scoring Barcelona find a way Barcelona have now scored in each of their last 46 matches in all competitions (129 goals), marking their best run in history after surpassing 45 in a row between November 1942 and February 1944 (139 goals). Flick's side only narrowly edged Girona on expected goals (xG), though, accumulating 1.86 to their visitors' 1.84."
Ronald Araujo scored in the third minute of stoppage time to give Barcelona a 2-1 victory over Girona and move Barcelona to the top of LaLiga. Pedri opened the scoring in the 13th minute after linking with Lamine Yamal and striking into the bottom corner. Axel Witsel levelled seven minutes later with an acrobatic finish after Arnau Martinez kept a corner alive. Vladyslav Vanat and Portu missed chances for Girona, while Marcus Rashford and Fermin Lopez hit the woodwork. Pau Cubarsi had a goal ruled out for offside, and Hansi Flick was dismissed for dissent. Barcelona have now scored in 46 consecutive matches and narrowly out-xG'd Girona.
