La Liga: Luuk de Jong scores 92nd-minute winner as Barcelona comeback to beat Levante
Jose Luis Morales’ penalty seven minutes after the interval handed the hosts the lead, and they could have been 2-0 up moments later. Levante squandered the opportunity to double their advantage from 12 yards in the 56th minute, Ter Stegen keeping out Marti’s spot-kick after the striker’s header had hit Eric Garcia’s hand.
The home side were punished just three minutes later when an unmarked Aubameyang headed home Ousmane Dembele’s cross from eight yards. Pedri, who had only been on the pitch for seven minutes, put Barca ahead in the 63rd minute with a whipped strike from 15 yards after being teed up by fellow substitute Gavi.

Levante looked like they would secure a point when Melero powered home from the spot in the 83rd minute after Clement Lenglet tripped Dani Gomez in the area, just two minutes after coming off the bench.
There was still time for one late twist, though, as De Jong met Jordi Alba’s left-wing cross with a superb header that flew past a helpless Cardenas in the second minute of stoppage time.
Levante next face a potentially make-or-break clash with Granada in a week’s time, but must also face Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Real Madrid in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, runners-up spot remains the realistic target for Barcelona, who will next be in Europa League action; reconvening with Frankfurt in midweek.
