Levante make history against Barcelona

Levante made history in defeat to Barcelona on Sunday.

Referee Munuera Montero awarded three penalties against Barcelona in their 3-2 win over Levante. It was the first time in league history that Barcelona had conceded three in a game.

Two of the penalties were scored by Levante and one missed.

Barca coach Xavi later said: "We put in a huge effort, we didn't play well in the first half though. We have to be self-critical. We were better in the second half and we have Luuk and ter Stegen making the difference. Three golden points to stay in the fight, we're still second and we can't slip up. Without playing well, we won."
