His tap-in was the only goal in a tricky contest for Barcelona away at Girona. Jordi Alba found him with a driven cross, the ball bouncing off the goalkeeper's arms and onto the Barca wonderkid's right foot, and he couldn't miss from a yard out.

Girona vs Barcelona live score, highlights: Pedri scores as Barca ... (Sporting News AU)

Barcelona will look to extend their lead atop the La Liga table when they take on promoted side Girona in a Catalan derby match that promises to be intense.

It will also be [streamed in English and Spanish on ESPN+](http://go.web.plus.espn.com/jW2Gna). Barcelona match will be televised on TSN4 and streaming on TSN's online platforms. The match takes place at the sold-out Estadio Municipal Montilivi, where Girona have lost just two of their nine matches this season (vs. 35 mins from kickoff: This is the last match that Barcelona will have to do without Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, who are both out due to suspension. But the move is thwarted for a corner. Girona 'keeper Paulo Gazzaniga gives the ball away in his own box (!!!) as Girona tries to play out of the back. Meanwhile, Pedri settles in as the right central midfielder for his 100th match in Barcelona colours. Another giveaway by the Girona backline (this time by Juanpe), and Ansu Fati fires a shot high. Both teams are imprecise with their passing, spaces are limited, and the cold is not helping. Taty Castellanos goes into the referee's book for a high arm on Sergio Busquets as they both rose up for a header. Halftime: There were more yellow cards (3) than total shots on target in the first half (2). Girona have been all over Barcelona in the last five minutes.

The Spain midfielder came off the bench to grab the only goal against Girona as Barça closed the gap on leaders Real Madrid to six points.

Antonio Sanabria scored a late equaliser for Torino as they fought back from 2-0 down to salvage a 2-2 draw at Empoli. If I had to find a negative, we made a few too many mistakes in our passing that could have allowed us to extend our lead before the end.” Ademola Lookman struck a fine solo effort as Atalanta eased past Sampdoria to continue their excellent recent form. Second-half substitute Thomasson equalised with two minutes left to cancel out Yasser Larouci’s opener. Frankfurt were largely anonymous until Daichi Kamada fed Randal Kolo Muani in the box to drill in a 69th-minute equaliser.
