Barcelona took the lead against Malaga in controversial circumstances

Gerard Deulofeu scored his first goal for Barcelona in controversial circumstances during their 2-0 win over Malaga at Camp Nou on Saturday night.

It took just two minutes for Deulofeu to break the deadlock as he reacted instinctively to backheel Lucas Digne's cross into an empty net.

However, replays showed that the ball was actually over the byline when Digne crossed the ball into Deulofeu after his first delivery into the box had been deflected out of play.

While Barcelona sauntered to victory in the end, bottom of the table Malaga will certainly feel like the officials gave them a helping hand along the way...
