FC.Barcelona maintained their ten-point gap at the summit of La Liga.

Barça kept on course for a successful defence of their Primera Liga title after coming from 1-2 down to defeat Deportivo La Coruña 3-2 at Camp Nou.


Ronaldinho opened the home side's account after just two minutes when he took aim from 25 yards and lifted the ball over the wall and into the top corner of the net before wheeling away in delight to perform a Samba dancing in front of his adoring Barça public.

But Depor soon turned the tide with two goals before the half-hour mark.Juanma equalised with an unmarked header after a short corner on 14 minutes before an unmarked but, in outside position,Andrade gave the Galicians the lead with a free header from a Pedro Munitis free kick on 27 minutes.


Depor's lead lasted just six minutes, as Barça made it 2-2 with an equalising header from Henrik Larsson, who connected with Ronaldinho's corner.

Frank Rijkaard's side claimed the winner just after hour mark, as Samuel Eto'o easily converted Ronaldinho's low corner from the left for a 3-2 win.


Next up for Barça is the UEFA Champions League match against Chelsea on Tuesday 7th at Camp Nou.


Força Barça!!
