Barcelona: Pedro Rodriguez filled in for Barcelona's missing star forwards by netting a hat-trick in 10 minutes to erase a two-goal deficit in a wild 5-2 win at Getafe on Sunday.
The entertaining victory ensured the defending Spanish champions retained their share of the league lead with Atletico Madrid.
With Barcelona's strike-duo Lionel Messi and Neymar unavailable, Getafe surged forward from the start and stunned the visitors' shaky defense with two goals in 15 minutes.
But Pedro led the comeback by scoring in the 34th, 41st and 43rd minutes to swing the match in Barcelona's favor before half-time.
Cesc Fabregas added to his assist for Pedro's first goal by scoring a brace of his own in the second half to secure the result.
