Last-placed Leganés came from behind to beat Barcelona and hand the defending La Liga champions their second setback in four days.
Philippe Coutinho opened the scoring early, but the hosts rallied with goals in three second-half minutes to earn their first win in six league games. Leganés’ winner came thanks to a blunder by Gerard Piqué, who misplayed a clearance inside the area. Óscar Rodríguez, a former member of Real Madrid’s youth teams who is on loan with Leganés, took advantage of Piqué’s uncharacteristic mistake to score the 52nd-minute winner.
It came just after Nabil El Zhar had equalised with a header from close range following a long ball into the Barcelona area.
The Leganés goalkeeper, Iván Cuéllar, made a series of great saves near the end to preserve the victory. The Madrid side had never earned a point against Barcelona in their three seasons in the first division, and this was their first win of this campaign and moved them out of the bottom three.
