Messi penalty rescues Barcelona in 1-0 win over Real Sociedad

The Hindu  

Lionel Messi scored a late penalty as Barcelona shook off a post-Clasico hangover and edged to a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad at Camp Nou. Having lost first place in its defeat to rival Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu six days ago, Barca took the chance to return to the summit, albeit in an unconvincing Camp Nou victory on Saturday. Madrid now trails by two points but has the chance to reclaim LaLiga top spot in Sunday's match against Barca head coach Quique Setien's former club Real Betis. Martin Braithwaite was twice denied by goalkeeper Alex Remiro early on, Messi having created both chances, while Alexander Isak headed way off target at the end of a neat Real move, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen rarely troubled in the opening period.
