Girona stuns Barcelona to leave Real Madrid on top
Girona came from behind to beat visitor Barcelona 2-1 in LaLiga, as last season's champion failed to return to the summit, leaving Real Madrid top of the table.
Barcelona struck the woodwork twice in the first half, Raphinha hitting the post before Lamine Yamal fired a penalty against the same upright in added time after Dani Olmo was fouled inside the box.
Pau Cubarsi finally put the visitor ahead in the 59th minute, rising to head home Jules Kounde's cross from a short corner, but Girona levelled three minutes later when Thomas Lemar converted from close range after Vladyslav Vanat's cross caused confusion.
Fran Beltran sealed victory in the 87th minute, steering home from Joel Roca's pass as the Montilivi stadium erupted.
Barcelona pushed for an equaliser but could not break through, even after Roca was sent off in added time. Barca remains on 58 points, two behind Real Madrid, and has lost successive games in all competitions for the first time since October.
