Ousmane Dembélé scored the only goal as Barcelona survived a late scare to win 1-0 at Real Valladolid.

Dembélé’s second-half strike made it two wins from as many games for the reigning La Liga champions, who had to work hard to overcome a side promoted from Spain’s second tier last season.

And Valladolid thought they had claimed a late equaliser, only for Keko’s header to be disallowed for offside after VAR was consulted.

Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 57th minute when Sergi Roberto’s knockdown fell to Dembélé, who found the far left corner from close range.

Luis Suárez had a goal disallowed for offside in the closing stages as Ernesto Valverde’s men failed to kill the game off, and they were almost punished only for the technology to show Keko was narrowly offside as he nodded in from close range.

Earlier Antoine Griezmann scored his first goal since helping France win the World Cup to give Atlético Madrid a 1-0 victory over their crosstown rivals Rayo Vallecano. Griezmann used his left boot to sweep in a Stefan Savic heasder and break the deadlock at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in the 63rd minute.
