Gundogan nets late penalty to give Barca victory

Ilkay Gundogan scored a stoppage-time penalty as Barcelona came from behind to beat Las Palmas after defender Daley Sinkgraven was sent off.

Sinkgraven pushed Gundogan as the ex-Manchester City midfielder was about to nod in a cross on the goalline.

Sinkgraven was shown a straight red card and his side were punished further when Gundogan netted from the spot.

Ferran Torres had earlier cancelled out Munir El Haddadi’s early opener against his former club.

Victory takes Barcelona’s tally to 41 points from 19 matches in La Liga – their second highest at this stage in the last five seasons – and they move third in the table, seven points off Real Madrid and Girona at the top.

Las Palmas remain 10th in the table having suffered back-to-back defeats.
