Ousmane Dembele was fortunate to avoid a red card during Barcelona's 4-1 away win against Real Sociedad on Sunday evening.
The France international, 25, caught Sociedad defender Aihen Munoz in the face with his left elbow during the first half. At the time, the score was 1-1. Dembele went on to score Barcelona's second goal before Robert Lewandowski inspired Xavi's side to a big win.
Dembele's elbow was reviewed by the VAR official but no punishment was given. In the player's defence, he was not looking at Munoz when his elbow made contact with his face, although he did seem to know the 25-year-old Spaniard was just behind him.
