"Barcelona missed the chance to restore their four-point lead at the LaLiga summit, following a surprise 2-1 defeat by 10-man Real Sociedad. Goncalo Guedes scored the winner at the Estadio Municipal de Anoeta, where Hansi Flick's side had three goals disallowed and struck the woodwork five times as their nine-game winning streak was halted. La Real thought they had taken the lead inside the opening minute, but Carlos Soler's thumping finish was chalked off for offside."
"Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal also saw goals ruled out for offside at the other end following VAR reviews, while Frenkie de Jong was also thwarted by the linesman's flag. The hosts broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute with Mikel Oyarzabal thumping home a stunning volley from Guedes' cross. Barca were then denied a penalty in first-half stoppage time with Yamal deemed to have drifted offside in the build-up,"
"The visitors finally equalised in the 70th minute with Marcus Rashford nodding home Yamal's cross, but La Real regained their lead within 60 seconds when Guedes volleyed in after a goalmouth scramble. Barca struck the woodwork again through Jules Kounde's header, and the hosts were reduced to 10 men as Soler received a second yellow card for fouling Pedri, but they held out for a hard-earned victory."
