FCB restored their four-point lead at the top of La Liga with a tense victory over Celta Vigo, who ended with 10 men in bizarre circumstances. In 73 minutes Jeremy Mathieu took his first breakthrough to scoring the only goal with a back-post diving header from Xavi's free-kick. The Chilean, frustrated with how long Busquets was spending to take his free-kick, picked a lump of grass off the ground and threw it in the face of the Spain international, who held his face and started to go down. Real Madrid had closed the gap with a 9-1 demolition of Granada in the early kick-off, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring five goals for the first time in his career, But Barcelona faced a much more well-organised side in mid-table Celta Vigo, with Barca boss Luis Enrique returning to the club for the first time since leaving them last summer.
