Alexander Sørloth struck deep in stoppage time to hand Atletico Madrid a 2-1 comeback win at Barcelona on Saturday that moved them top of LaLiga with their 12th consecutive victory across all competitions.
Atletico have 41 points, three ahead of Barcelona who have gone three league games without a win.
Barca were the better side in the opening exchanges and Pedri scored on the half-hour mark following a great run into the box and a one-two with Gavi before beating goalkeeper Jan Oblak with a low shot.
Rodrigo De Paul grabbed the equaliser, capitalising on a poor clearance by Marc Casadó on the edge of the box to slot his shot into the bottom corner with what was only Atletico’s second attempt on goal in the game.
Oblak pulled off a couple of key saves to deny the hosts a winner before substitute Sorloth netted with a first-time effort six minutes into stoppage time from a deep cross by Nahuel Molina.
