Barcelona have maintained their excellent La Liga form with a remarkable win as they came from behind to beat a Levante side awarded three second-half penalties in the pulsating encounter.

The game was immediately off to a flying start after the interval when Levante defender Son was fouled by Dani Alves, allowing Jose Luis Morales to convert from the spot.

Four minutes later the home side were handed a second penalty after Eric Garcia handballed, only for striker Roger to fail to slot home the spot kick and play right at Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The Blaugrana swiftly responded, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang heading in a superb Ousmane Dembele cross before two substitutes combined as youngsters Gavi teed up Pedri for a sweeping finish.

Ter Stegen's save had offered a chance for Barca to turn the game and be in control but he faced a third penalty after Maxi Gomez was fouled by Clement Lenglet - who had been on the field for less than two minutes - and this time substitute Gonzalo Melero made no mistake and sent the keeper the wrong way to level.

Levante - seven points from safety - looked to have earned a deserved point but Luuk de Jong headed home Jordi Alba's cross in added time, making him the third substitute to score in an incredible second half.

Barca remain the most in-form team in Europe's top-five leagues on a run of 11 wins and four draws from their last 15 La Liga outings.
