Barcelona vs Valencia LIVE! Raphinha header enough for ten-man Barca

Not the prettiest of victories but one that will prevent Real Madrid from thinking they have a sniff of the title.

Not the worst effort but ter Stegen saw it all the way and saved comfortably. That was Valencia's only shot on target.

The ball finds him in the left hand side of the penalty area but he shoots high and wide with his left foot. That might be their final chance.

The referee says Kessie's tackle was fair and VAR rubber-stamp that call.

Kluivert replaces Lino.

And he leaves team-mate Kounde on the floor with a very sore back.

He will have been glad to see the offside flag afterwards as he latched onto Duro's cross in front of ter Stegen but clipped the ball past the post.

Valencia clear their lines comfortably.

Placed just outside the left edge of the penalty area, an opportunity for Raphinha to cause havoc.

An attacking substitution for the visitors.

Castillejo comes on for Correia.

Alonso replaces him as Xavi looks to hold on to the lead now.

A poor header from Kounde had Duro goalside of the defender who pulled down the Valencia striker cynically and got himself a red card.

Raphinha plays Fati through on goal and his shot has the keeper beaten but comes back off the woodwork.

There was a little discussion about who would take the spot kick with Lewandowski not on the field but Torres stepped up and then his spot kick clipped the outside of the post and goes wide.

Kounde's shot is blocked by Guillamon's arm. He was very close to the kicker and it looks a harsh decision.
