Radoja scored Levante's third goal to give them a two goal cushion v Barca. Captura/Movistar.

Nemanja Radoja gave Levante a two goal cushion in the match against Barcelona. The midfielder's volley from inside the box took a deflection off Busquets and went into Ter Stegen's goal to make it 3-1.

Barcelona were shaken. Even though Messi scored Barca's first penalty of the season which meant the Argentine netted for the fifth game in a row, Barcelona were outplayed by Levante in the second period

The Levante show began in the 61st minute when Campana levelled the scores. Two minutes later, Borja Mayoral made it 2.1 and then Radoja made it 3-1 in the 68th minute. 

A free.kick sent into the box by Levante from the right hand side of Ter Stegen's goal, the defence cleared the ball, but Radoja won the second ball in the penalty area. 

The ex-Celta Vigo man volleyed the ball with his left foot. His shot was on target, but saveable for Ter Stegen until it hit Busquets' leg. The deflection meant the Barca keeper had no chance
