    Eric Garcia has been really struggling since coming on. He was at fault for Espanyol's second and he lets the hosts get a dangerous cross in that Sergino Dest takes no chances with and heads behind.

    The corner comes to nothing bt Espanyol are not sitting back on their lead.

    Gerard Pique is booked for a foul and the game is very stop start as we close in on the final 15 minutes.

    I'm not seeing anything yet that suggests Barcelona are going to get something from this but all it takes is one moment of quality.

    Raul de Tomas

    The stadium goes wild!

    But will VAR look at this one? No because there is nothing wrong with it as Eric Garcia plays Raul de Tomas onside and the Espanyol man controls the ball before finishing strongly.

    The hosts lead!
