Rayo Vallecano v Barcelona LIVE - Barca seek to close in on La Liga title

FT: Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Barcelona. Rayo win, deservedly so, and are now unbeaten in four versus Barcelona. Xavi's team were poor but take nothing away from Rayo, who gave them a torrid time and scored two well-taken goals.

Barca almost concede from a goal kick of their own, but a poor finish and the offside flag save them.

Dimitrievski will take it.

De Tomas crosses rather than go to the corner, and that gives Barca the ball back.

And gets an earful from his team-mates.

Can Barcelona find an equaliser?

A spinning Raphinha cannot hit the target from a tight angle.

De Tomas and Mumin on for Camello and Valentin.

Palazon's good delivery evades everyone.

Lejeune goes for goal from inside his own half but it is not to be, unsurprisingly.

The Pole is on course to win the Golden Boot.

Kessie's long-range shot is blocked but bounces into the path of Lewandowski, who lashes home. An instinctive finish and Barca are still alive.

Chavarria and Sanchez on for Lopez and Alvaro Garcia.

Torre and Garcia on for de Jong and Gavi.

Lewandwoski crosses too close to the Rayo goalkeeper, who is yet to be tested this half.

Barca's frustration there for all to see.

Fran Garcia is formerly of Real Madrid and is due to rejoin Barca's arch-rivals in the summer.

Lopez takes down a long ball well, but then overruns the ball.

A nice Barca move sets up a chance for Lewandowski, but he lashes over. The offside flag is then raised, somewhat saving his blushes.

He has rarely looked comfortable. Kessie comes on.
