Sergio Busquets takes blame for Falcao’s winner against Barcelona

Sergio Busquets says he was to blame for Radamel Falcao’s goal on Wednesday as Barcelona slipped to 1-0 defeat in La Liga at Vallecas.

The Colombian striker struck the only goal of the game and has now netted in four straight appearances against the Catalan giants.

Falcao’s goal came on 30 minutes after Oscar Trejo had robbed the ball off Busquets inside the Barcelona half and then played the striker through on goal.

Busquets spoke to reporters after the match and said he should have done better.

“Today I made a mistake, I assume the consequences.
