Lionel Messi (and Neymar) to the rescue.

After being completely dominated for nearly an hour against bogey side Real Sociedad - Barcelona hasn't won at Anoeta since 2007 - the Blaugrana deservedly went behind when Willian Jose scored a slapstick opener in the 53rd minute.

Luis Enrique's side was being blitzed, and looked in danger of falling seven points behind league leader Real Madrid.

Then Messi decided to stop the bleeding on his own, as the Argentine accepted a pass from Neymar before smacking a low drive home to equal the contest at one apiece.
