Last-gasp Lewandowski PK hands Barça win
Written by I Dig Sports
Robert Lewandowski's penalty seven minutes into added time earned Barcelona a fortunate 2-1 win at Celta Vigo in LaLiga on Saturday.
The Poland international gave Barca the lead with a shot from the edge of the box just before halftime but Iago Aspas levelled in the 47th minute with a deflected strike past keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Celta took control and were pushing for victory before defender Fran Beltran fouled Lamine Yamal in the 93rd minute and Lewandowski converted at the second attempt.
Vicente Guaita saved his first effort, but the VAR check showed the keeper was in front of the goal line before the ball left the spot and Lewandowski tucked away his second effort.
