ZLATAN GOAL SHOOTS DOWN REAL MADRID

ZLATAN GOAL SHOOTS DOWN REAL MADRID

Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrates his goal.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's superb second-half volley secured 10-man Barcelona a 1-0 victory over fierce rivals Real Madrid in 'El Clasico' at the Nou Camp and saw the Catalans move back to the top of the Primera Division standings after 12 matches.

Ibrahimovic replaced Thierry Henry shortly into the second half and fired Barca in front less than five minutes later as he volleyed home Dani Alves' cross.

Barca went down to 10 men with almost half an hour still left, when Sergio Busquets was sent off for a second bookable offence.

However, Madrid later had Lassana Diarra sent off for a second yellow card.
