Real Sociedad v Barcelona result - goals from Goncalo Guedes and Mikel Oyarzabal fire hosts to huge win against Barca

Mikel Oyarzabal’s first-half strike coupled with Goncalo Guedes’ goal after the break was enough for La Real to secure a famous win against the Catalan giants.

The win lifts Sociedad five points clear of the relegation zone while Barcelona’s lead at the top is cut to just one point.

Carlos Soler headed the ball into the back of the net after 25 seconds but Barca managed to catch him with their offside trap.

Fermin Lopez thought he gave his side the lead after seven minutes but VAR ruled Dani Olmo committed a foul in the build-up.

Lamine Yamal and Frenkie De Jong also saw goals ruled out for offside before Oyarzabal broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute.

Guedes delivered a deep cross to the back post where Oyarzabal volleyed past Joao Garcia at his near post.

Barcelona were awarded a penalty in the fourth minute after Igor Zubeldia hacked down Yamal but the teenager was coming back from an offside position as he received the ball.

Substitute Marcus Rashford powered the Catalan giants level in the 70th minute, heading in from close range of Yamal’s cross.

However, that lead lasted just one minute as Barca failed to clear their lines allowing Guedes to fire home a volley to restore their lead.

Soler was sent-off in the 88th minute after VAR upgraded his yellow card for a bad challenge on Pedri.

Despite the man advantage and nine minutes of added time, Barcelona couldn’t find a response and fell to their first league defeat since October at the Bernabeu.

La Real have undergone management change in recent weeks and it is paying dividends. The win lifts them to eighth in the league and crucially 5 points clear of the relegation zone.

They host seventh-placed Celta Vigo next week which is a real chance for them to kick on and make something out of this season.

The result means Barcelona's winning run comes to an end and the title race is blown wide open.

Following Real Madrid's win against Levante yesterday, Los Blancos now sit one point behind Barcelona in second place.

There is all to play for in the La Liga race and the Supercopa De Espana triumph will feel like a long time ago for the Catalan giants.

And that is that! What a fantastic win for Real Sociedad against high-flying Barcelona.

Oyarzabal's first half strike set them on their way and Guedes instant response to Rashford's equaliser sealed the win.

Stick around for post-match reaction!

Sociedad will be fine with that, the teenager lets fly from outside the box and it sails wide. The home fans are cheering their side to a famous win.

The Catalan giants have had 72% of possession tonight and created 2.57xG more than Sociedad but they can't find a way through!

It's back to the wall for Sociedad as they fight to see this one out with 10-men. Lopez has an effort on the penalty spot but the hosts are throwing themselves at the ball to keep Barca at bay!

If the five in the first half wasn't enough, Barcelona will have NINE minutes to find an equaliser and in that time, they could easily get a winner too!

Soler was initially shown a yellow for a bad sliding challenge on Pedri, but following a VAR review, that yellow has been upgraded and he is off!

Pedri, somehow, is fit to continue.

Flick knows time is running out as Kounde and Cubarsi are replaced by Gerard Martin and Roony Bardghji.

Soler and Lopez are also carded either side of the subs.

The cards are becoming more regular now as the Polish striker is the latest into the ref's book.

Aramburu makes way for Duje Caleta-Car.

Can they hold on?

The Sociedad defender follows in Garcia's footsteps by dragging down Yamal.

The Barca defender talks his way into a yellow. Childlike.

What is going on!?

Soler's header forces a powerful stop from Joan Garcia, but there's a big goalmouth scramble and Barca can't clear their lines.

Soler lifts a good cross back outside for Guedes, who fires a hard-hit volley into the ground and into the back of the net.

Rashford scores a huge goal for his side and himself.

It's almost an action replay of the previous Lewandowski chance as Yamal lifts a lovely cross to the far post, where Rashford meets it with an emphatic header!

Kubo and Garcia are taken off.

Aihen Munoz and Ander Barrenetxea are on.

A cross comes in from the right and Lewandowski climbs highest to meet it.

He connects with the ball well and fires his header goalwards but Remiro reacts instantly to get his hand to it and push it on the bar.

The ball falls to safety and the hosts clear. Wow!

A foot race brakes out on the right as Barca look to set Yamal away Sergio Garcia gets there first but Yamal barges him to the ground and fairly.

He gets his head up and crosses but the Sociedad defence intercept and clear.

A triple Barca change as we go past the hour mark.

Balde, Ferran Torres and Olmo come off.

Robert Lewandowski, Marcus Rashford and Joao Cancelo enter the fray. Talk about strength in depth!
