By scoring in the 86th minute of their game against Barcelona, Espanyol helped Real Madrid open a five-point gap on their arch-rivals.
Alvaro's goal was somewhat random, sure, but the goal Fabregas had scored in the first half was more than a fluke, too, so Barca should not feel absolutely robbed by this result.
Even though they had a great case for demanding a penalty in the dying moments of the game, Barcelona really should have put away the chances they had. They didn't, and now they're five points behind.
I guess that goes to show you: You can beat Real away from home in the direct match, but you cannot get close to them in the standings. Interesting!
