Substitute scores winner three minutes into added time
Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten away run hits 37 at Mainz
The substitute Ronald Araújo scored three minutes into added time as Barcelona secured a 2-1 win over a stubborn Girona in La Liga. Barcelona took the lead in the 13th minute, when Pedri received Lamine Yamal’s quick ball into the box and ran across the defensive line before dispatching a low left-footed finish.
Yet Axel Witsel’s spectacular bicycle kick off Arnau Martínez’s header levelled for Girona seven minutes later. The hosts pushed hard for the winner with five shots on target in the first 30 minutes of the second half and their efforts were finally rewarded when the late substitute Araújo struck in added time.
Araújo took his shirt off in celebration and was booked but Hansi Flick, his coach, was not around to see it as he had just been sent off for two yellows in added time.
