Franck Kessie scores late winner as Barcelona beat Real Madrid to move 12 points clear
Franck Kessie scored a dramatic late winner as Barcelona beat Real Madrid to move 12 points clear in La Liga.
Real went ahead in El Clasico against the run of play as Vinicius Jr’s cross was headed in by Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo for an own goal.
Barca equalised just before half-time through Sergi Roberto’s shot after Raphinha’s strike had been blocked.
Marco Asensio’s late strike for Real was ruled out for offside, before Kessie scored the injury-time winner.
Both sides have 12 league matches remaining and Barca are in a dominant position as they look to win the title for the first time since 2018-19.
