Raphinha leads Barcelona's 4-3 comeback win over Celta Vigo

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Raphinha equalized and converted an injury-time penalty to lead Barcelona from two goals down to beat Celta Vigo 4-3 in a wild La Liga game on Saturday.

The shootout victory kept Barcelona on pace for the Spanish league title as it opened up a seven-point gap over Real Madrid before the defending champion hosts Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

A hat trick by Borja Iglesias put Celta Vigo ahead 3-1 with just under half an hour to play. But Dani Olmo scored in the 62nd and Raphinha leveled with a header from a Lamine Yamal cross just three minutes later.
