Pedri once again filled the boots of the suspended Robert Lewandowski to give Barcelona a narrow win over Girona that sends them six points clear at the top of La Liga.
Barcelona midfielder Pedri netted the winner for the second weekend running to send Xavi’s side six points clear at the top of LaLiga with a 1-0 win over Girona.
The 20-year-old Spanish star, who was playing his 100th match for the Catalan giants, broke the deadlock just after the hour-mark from close-range to ensure Barcelona walked away with all three points.
The complaints about his inability to score from midfield have all been silenced by his form in front of goal this season.
He had not started the game but was called upon early on when Ousmane Dembele hobbled off early in the first half with what looked like a thigh injury.
The French winger suffered with injuries when he first joined the club but he was on a run of 14 months without a serious setback.
He now looks he might be in for a spell on the sidelines, and with huge games coming for Barcelona including the double-header against Manchester United in the Europa League.
