Barcelona survived a Getafe fightback to win an entertaining La Liga clash 2-1 at the Camp Nou on Saturday.

The visitors started strongly and had the ball in the back of the net on 25 minutes, only to see Allan Nyom's effort ruled out by VAR for a foul on Samuel Umtiti in the buildup.

Barcelona lost left-back Jordi Alba to injury in the first half but sprang into life with two goals in six minutes to take control of the match before half-time.

Lionel Messi sent Antoine Griezmann through on goal to beat goalkeeper David Soria for the opener before Sergi Roberto finished a well-worked team move with a low strike.
