Barcelona, Osasuna share the spoils as 16-yr-old Fati sets record

It was a disappointing draw for Spanish champions, Barcelona as they were held 2-2 by promoted Osasuna in the La Liga on Saturday.

A Barcelona record was however broken by 16-year-old Ansu Fati, who became the Barca’s youngest La Liga goalscorer.

Roberto Torres gave Osasuna the lead early on with a sweet volley from Brandon’s cross.

Fati came on at half-time for his second Barca appearance and headed in Carles Perez’s cross six minutes later to equalise.

Perez then set up Arthur to put Barca ahead with a 16-yard shot but Torres equalised with a late penalty, which was awarded after Gerard Pique handled Oier’s cross in the box.

Barca will host Valencia in their next La Liga match on August 14.
