Granada 2-2 Barcelona: Player ratings as late goal rescues point for Barca

Barcelona came from two goals behind to snatch a point away at a spirited Granada on Sunday evening.

Granada had taken a 2-0 lead in the game thanks to a fantastic brace from Bryan Zaragoza in the opening 30 minutes, before Lamine Yamal reduced arrears in added time of the first half by becoming the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history.
