Real Sociedad 0-1 Barcelona: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang heads in only goal of the game to get Xavi's side back to winning ways and consolidate second place in LaLiga

A Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang header gave Barcelona an important victory at Real Sociedad on Thursday evening in LaLiga.

Having lost two games in a row - at home to Eintracht Frankfurt and Cadiz - in the last week, Xavi's side earned a valuable three points in the Basque country courtesy of the former Arsenal captain's 11th minute header at the back post.

The victory means Barca consolidate second place - three points ahead of Sevilla and five ahead of Atletico Madrid - with five games to go as they look to nail down a Champions League spot for next season.
