    Barca hit back after Ronald Araujo's early own goal to level through Sergi Roberto on the stroke of half-time and set up the dramatic finale at the Nou Camp.

    Kessie pounced to finish off a cross from Alejandro Balde for his first Barcelona goal and help his side take a big step towards another domestic title.

    Borja Iglesias scored the only goal as Real Betis bounced back from their midweek European defeat to Manchester United with a 1-0 win over Mallorca.

    Two late goals from Jose Luis Morales eased Villarreal to a 3-0 win at Osasuna, while Real Sociedad ended their run of four without a win and consolidated fourth place with a 2-0 win over Elche.

    Goals from Munir El Haddadi and Enes Unal saw Getafe leapfrog Sevilla in the table with a 2-0 win.
