GRANADA STUN BARCELONA

Newly Promoted Granada stunned champions Barcelona to move top of La Liga.

The home team got the lead after Ramon Azeez’s header with less than two minutes played.

Trailing at half-time, Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde introduced Lionel Messi and Ansu Fati hoping to inspire the team, but Alvaro Vadillo added the hosts’ second from the penalty spot after Arturo Vidal handled the ball in the area.

The result condemns Barcelona to their worst league start for 25 years and leaves them in seventh, three points behind surprise leaders Granada.

Earlier, Atletico Madrid missed the chance to go top as they were held to a goalless draw against Celta Vigo.
