Las Palmas Stun La Liga Leaders Barcelona on 125th Anniversary

Las Palmas claimed a surprise 2-1 victory at La Liga leaders Barcelona on Saturday, spoiling the hosts' 125th anniversary celebrations. Sandro Ramirez sent the visitors ahead early in the second half and although Raphinha hammered home an equaliser, Fabio Silva struck to claim three points and take his team up to 14th.

They held a gala in the city on Friday night to mark the occasion, having been founded on November 29, 1899, but came undone on Saturday afternoon.

"We made some mistakes, but it was not the back four, it starts (with the players) in front, we have to speak about that."

The Catalans were able to name teenage starlet Lamine Yamal on the bench after recovering from an ankle problem.
