    Big let-off for La Real.

    Aritz Elustondo inexplicably takes a throw-in across his own penalty area straight to Gavi. Two defenders stop the youngster before he can shoot.

    The fans aren't happy but it's hard to argue you're not interfering with play if you try to score from a cross that sails in - while the keeper was watching you.

  6. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 53 mins

    Real Sociedad 1-1 Barcelona

    The ball is in the net but it is disallowed for offside.

    Brais Mendez crosses it in from deep with his free-kick. It evades everyone and flies into trhe back of the net.

    But the few players in the centre who went for it were interfering with play even if they didn't touch it.

    What a save from Marc-Andre ter Stegen to deny David Silva.

    At the end of a good Real move, Silva pings a shot towards the bottom corner which the Barca keeper does well to tip round the post.
