BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Pedri has scored to help Barcelona eke out a win 1-0 at Girona and increase its Spanish league lead. The Spain midfielder made his 100th club appearance at just 20 years old. Girona stymied the visitors until fellow substitute Jordi Alba found Pedri with a low cross for him score from close in the 61st. Xavi’s team moved six points clear of Real Madrid before the titleholder hosts third-placed Real Sociedad on Sunday. Girona coach Michel was sent off in stoppage time with a direct red card for vehemently protesting what he thought was a foul on one of his players.
