Espanyol 3, Eibar 3

Espanyol overcame a 3-0 deficit with three goals in the final 26 minutes to shock Eibar and salvage a point with a draw.

Sergi Enrich got Eibar on the board 23 minutes into the match, and a Diego Reyes own goal doubled the advantage four minutes later.

Kike looked like he put the game out of reach just a minute before halftime, but Espanyol fought back.

In the 64th minute, Hernan Perez grabbed Espanyol's first score, which was followed up by Pablo Piatti's strike nine minutes later.

Espanyol found the equalizer during the second minute of stoppage time, when Leo Baptistao tucked a low shot from 25 yards out just inside the left post.

Barcelona 3, Valencia 2

Lionel Messi's dramatic brace lifted Barcelona to the top of the table on Saturday.

His winner came in the fourth minute of stoppage time, when Barcelona earned a penalty as Luis Suarez was taken down in the box, via beIN Sports USA:

Barcelona had to battle back from a 2-1 deficit after Valencia stormed out in the second half to take the lead.

After Messi opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, Munir El Haddadi and Rodrigo scored within four minutes of each other, beginning in the 52nd minute.

BeIN Sports USA showed Munir's goal against his parent club:

Valencia held the lead for only six minutes before Suarez answered back in the 62nd minute, hammering home a rebound off a corner kick.

Real Sociedad 3, Alaves 0

Unlike Saturday's first two matches, Real Socieded and Alaves did not provide much drama.

Xabi Prieto's header off a Carlos Martinez cross put the home side up in the 22nd minute.

In the 57th minute, Willian Jose sent a right-footed shot into the bottom-right corner of the goal to double Real Sociedad's lead.

Carlos Vela put the cherry on top of Real's day with a goal three minutes from time.

Granada 0, Sporting Gijon 0

A battle at the bottom of the table turned out to be anticlimactic as Granada and Sporting Gijon could muster only a goalless draw.

While each team got a point, it did little to help them get out of the relegation zone.

Sporting Gijon are now up to eight points, but they are still behind No. 17 Deportivo La Coruna on goal difference.

Granada, on the other hand, is still rooted in 20th with just three points and a minus-15 goal differential.
