Sandro Ramirez dented Barcelona's La Liga title hopes by scoring Malaga's first goal in a 2-0 win against his old club at La Rosaleda on Saturday. Substitute Jony Rodriguez wrapped up the scoring just before stoppage time against an unusually sluggish Barca.

Barcelona's cause also wasn't helped by Neymar getting sent off in the second half after a second booking.

Sandro, who was let go on a free transfer by Barca last summer, helped make sure the Blaugrana missed the chance to draw level on points with bitter rivals Real Madrid at the top.
