La Liga Champions Barcelona have come back from a goal down to defeat hosts Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 in their UEFA Champions League Group C encounter.

It was the home team who opened the scoring at the Borussia-Park stadium on Wednesday through Thorgan Hazard who slotted home from close range.


The Catalans, however, upped the pressure after the interval and managed to tie the match at 1 apiece in the 64th minute. Neymar sent a through ball for substitute Arda Turan and the Turkey striker drilled an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net, making it 1-1.


Gerard Piquet then put the visitors ahead in the 74th minute after a corner from Neymar was volleyed by Luis Suarez. The keeper spilled the shot and Piquet hustled to nod it home.

The win ensures Barcelona remain atop Group C ahead of Man City with 6 points.
