Ousamane Dembele who had been famously criticized showed his worth as he saved Barcelona from a second consecutive defeat.The 21 year old came on as a substitute and scored a deflected 90th minute goal to keep Barcelona top of La Liga.The first half of the game was a preventing dull one with no shots on target from both sides.The closest either side came was a free kick curled over the bar.

Costa came close to giving his side the lead while almost connecting to a Griezmann cross before Gerard Pique got a touch to divert the ball.Atletico kept pushing harder as Arturo Vidal headed the ball against his own hand but VAR was not required and the penalty appeal was ruled out.

Costa then broke his 18-match goal drought by scoring against Barcelona for the first time before Dembele came on as a sub,connected to messi's pass and fired a shot which deflected past Oblak.
