Barcelona Held by Granada Despite Two Goals From Lamine Yamal

Barcelona 3-3 Granada

Sixteen-year-old Lamine Yamal produced the first two-goal haul of his senior career but it was not enough to earn Barcelona three points against Granada.

Spain international Yamal - who has now scored six goals for club and country this season - got Barca off to a superb start when he fired the hosts in front after 14 minutes.

But La Liga strugglers Granada hit back and were ahead by the hour-mark thanks to a goal and an assist from Manchester United loanee Facundo Pellistri.

Robert Lewandowski equalized for Xavi Hernandez's side but Ignasi Miquel restored Granada's lead.

Yamal then scored his second goal of the game in the 80th minute to earn a 3-3 draw.

Madrid now have 10 points more than Barca, who sit third.

At the other end of the table, Granada remain 19th and are seven points from safety.
