All was well for Barca, who took the lead in the 19th minute through Lionel Messi, until the video assistant referee deemed Lenglet to have elbowed Pere Pons when they came together on the pitch 10 minutes before half-time.

The Guardian's Sid Lowe thought the defender was perhaps a little harshly done by:

Girona took advantage through Cristhian Stuani, who bagged a goal either side of the interval after some poor defending from Gerard Pique.

The centre-back would go some way to making amends by heading Barcelona level again in the 63rd minute, but the Blaugrana were unable to muster a winner.

Meanwhile, Wissam Ben Yedder scored a first-half hat-trick as Sevilla thrashed Levante.

Roger Marti had cancelled out the France international's opener, but he scored twice more, while Daniel Carrico, Andre Silva and Pablo Sarabia also got on the scoresheet before Moses Simon's late consolation.

Sports journalist Jonas Giaever praised Ben Yedder:

As Squawka Football demonstrated, Sarabia deserved his share of the credit, too:

Villarreal's clash with Valencia was far less exciting, with the two sides combining for just three shots on target in the entire game.

ESPN's David Cartlidge was not impressed:

Markel Susaeta's red card proved costly for Athletic in their clash at Real Betis.

The visitors were 2-0 up after 18 minutes courtesy of goals from Inaki Williams and Raul Garcia, but Susaeta received his marching orders for a foul on Sidnei on the stroke of half-time.

After the break, goals from Marc Bartra and Sergio Canales earned Betis a point.
