A late equaliser from substitute Thierry Henry ensured Barcelona
snatched a point in a 2-2 against Valencia on a dramatic night at
the Mestalla.
Two goals in as many minutes from Hedwiges Maduro and Pablo Hernandez
at the end of the first half turned the match on its head after Lionel
Messi had given the league leaders the advantage in the 24th minute.
It seemed as if Los Che were about to pull off a shock result which
could have thrown the title race wide open but Henry equalised four
minutes from time.
The result extends Barca's lead to seven points over Real Madrid,
who travel to Sevilla tomorrow, while Valencia have four points
more than Villarreal - who have a game in hand - in the race for
a Champions League berth. |
