Barcelona Top La Liga Despite Draw


Leaders Barcelona dropped two vital points in the last minute after a draw against a battling Osasuna. Keita connected with a cross from Puyol to give Guardiolas side the lead with twenty minutes to go, and Ricardo had to be at his best to keep out Ibrahimovic and Messi after that. But with the game in the last minute of injury time Camuñas squeezed past an indecisive Márquez to lay the ball across goal, and Piqué and Valdés could only deflect it in to their own net.

Earlier in the evening Real Madrid recovered from their recent bad form to beat neighbours Getafe. Things appeared to be going against them when Raúl Albiol was sent off for pulling back Soldado with just under half an hour on the clock. But Higuaín saved the day for his side with two goals in three minutes soon after the restart, the first after controlling a cross from Marcelo and the second after an assist from Benzema. Pellegrinis side are now only a point behind Barça in the table.
