Barcelona 2-2 Girona: Report, Ratings & Reaction as 10-Man Barca Fight Back to Salvage Draw

​Barcelona dropped their first points of the season after drawing 2-2 against their Catalan neighbours Girona on Sunday evening.

Despite going ahead early on through Lionel Messi, things took a turn for the worse for Barca when Clement Lenglet was given his marching orders for a raised elbow, following a VAR referral. 

Christian Stuani scored a goal either side of half time to put the visitors into the lead, before Gerard Pique managed to head home midway through the second half to salvage a point for his side.
