Barcelona ensured they will finish 2013 on top of La Liga as a Pedro Rodriguez hat-trick helped them come from 2-0 down to win 5-2 at Getafe.
The hosts had got off to a flying start as goals from Sergio Escudero and Lisandro Lopez put them 2-0. The Catalans responded like champions as Pedro scored three times. Cesc Fabregas gave Barca breathing space when he volleyed home Pedro’s cross and the former Arsenal captain doubled his tally from the penalty spot moments later.
Barca’s comeback means they edge ahead of Atletico Madrid on goal difference at the top of the table. Without the suspended Neymar and injured Lionel Messi, the spotlight was on the Catalans’ fringe players in attack to make their claim for a regular starting spot.
