Barcelona, Madrid score last-gasp wins

MADRID: Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid grabbed last-gasp 2-1 victories after a rash of red cards and crowd trouble in the Primera Liga on Saturday.

Barcelona came from behind to beat Espanyol with a Lionel Messi penalty in the last derby at the Montjuic stadium. The game turned around after crowd disturbances forced the referee to take the players off the pitch for almost 10 minutes.

Ruud van Nistelrooy gave Real Madrid the full points at Real Betis, where each team had a player sent off, to keep the champion a point behind leader Villarreal which won 1-0 at promoted Sporting Gijon thanks to striker Giuseppe Rossi.

The results: Spanish league: Espanyol 1 (Ferran Corominas 20) lost to Barcelona 2 (Thierry Henry 76, Lionel Messi 90+5-pen); Real Betis 1 (Sergio Garcia 54) lost to Real Madrid 2 (Gabriel Heinze 19, Ruud van Nistelrooy 90+1); Sporting Gijon 0 lost to Villarreal 1 (Giuseppe Rossi 64).

Italian league: Fiorentina 1 (Alberto Gilardino 61) bt Genoa 0; Sampdoria 0 drew with Juventus 0. — Agencies
