Barcelona draw La Liga encounter with Valencia after Jordi Alba's late equaliser

Barcelona's Jordi Alba scored a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Valencia on Sunday in an exciting La Liga clash. Barca were denied the opener as Lionel Messi’s tame shot after half an hour was spilt by goalkeeper Neto and bounced over the line.

However, the Brazilian dragged it back over and referee Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva allowed play to continue.

Spain striker Rodrigo Moreno helped Valencia gain the lead with a shot from close range before Alba haunted his former club with a brilliant equaliser.
