Thomas Vermaelen scores rare winning goal for Barcelona

Thomas Vermaelen scores his first goal for Barcelona, the winner against Malaga

Thomas Vermaelen gave Barcelona a 1-0 win against Malaga, smashing the ball home from 15 yards out to score his first goal for the Catalan giants.

Former Arsenal defender Vermaelen's first season with Barcelona was plagued with injuries, and on only his fourth appearance for the club on Saturday night, he found the net for the first time since December 2012.

Barcelona won their second straight La Liga game by a single goal, having seen off Athletic Bilbao in their opening clash last week.
