MADRID, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona once again showed their problems away from home when they were forced to come back from a goal down to claim a narrow 2-1 win against bottom of the table Leganes.
Barca coach Ernesto Valverde started with an attacking line up with Leo Messi, Luis Suarez, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele in his side, Moussa Wague stated in defense due to the injuries to Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto.
Leganes have only one win all season, but they took the lead in the 12th minute thanks to an excellent goal from their Moroccan striker Youssef En Nesyri, who got the better of Gerard Pique before thumping a shot into the top-corner of the net.
Leganes keeper 'Pichu' Cuellar saved twice to deny Luis Suarez as Barca looked to react, but the home side looked threatening on the break and Oscar fired into the side netting while Roque Mesa produced a save from Marc Andre Ter Stegen.
Pique hit the post for Barca at the start of the second half and eight minutes after the break Barca were level as it was third time lucky for Suarez as he beat Cuellar with a header following a Messi free kick.
Cuellar then made himself big to deny Messi, who had been set up by the impressing Frenkie de Jong, but it wasn't until the 79th minute that Artur Vidal scored the vital goal, which wasn't without controversy.
"We have got three points but we know we have to improve a lot. It was hard work against the team that is bottom of the league, but everyone is playing for their lives," said Vidal after the game.
