Barcelona scrape to a narrow win against 10-man Real Valladolid to go within a point of the top

Ousmane Dembele struck a crucial late winner for Barcelona against Real Valladolid for their sixth league win in a row.

It was a really quiet first half for the home side, who suffered an early scare when Saidy Janko’s cross was headed onto the crossbar by Kenan Kodro.

That was the closest either side came to breaking the deadlock until first half injury time. Youngster Pedri struck a low strike towards the bottom corner, only for Jordi Masip to reach out a hand and turn it onto the post.

The second half began where the first left off, with very little in the way of goalmouth action.
