Watch these defensive blunders from Barcelona's Jose Antonio Martinez and Celtic's Efe Ambrose

Barcelona's 3-1 victory over Celtic produced defensive howlers from both sides, with moments to forget for Jose Antonio Martinez and Efe Ambrose.

It took just 11 minutes for Luis Enrique's men to open the scoring in Dublin on Saturday, when Arda Turan curled a powerful effort right into the top corner. 

But their lead didn't last long, as just before the half-hour mark Celtic were gifted an equaliser by Martinez who received the ball from his goalkeeper inside the box with an embarrassingly poor touch, sliding it to Leigh Griffiths who slotted home from six yards.

And the defensive error bug quickly spread to Celtic, when just moments later Ambrose scuffed what should have been a routine clearance, shanking the ball into his own net. 

Luis Enrique's men reinstated their lead just one minute later through an Efe Ambrose own goal, before Suarez played in Munir El Haddadi to make it 3-1 before half-time.
