Barcelona were unable to capitalise on Real Madrid's slip-up after falling to a shock defeat of their own at Getafe.
Jaime Mata stroked home the second-half winner from the penalty spot after Frenkie de Jong felled Djene Dakonam inside the box. The Getafe striker's finish was unerring, sending Neto the wrong way.
