Barcelona edged back to the top of LaLiga on Saturday night but Iago Aspas’ 88th-minute equaliser for Celta Vigo cost them two crucial points as they were held to a 2-2 draw.

Barca were looking to capitalise on playing first, with rivals Real Madrid not in action until Sunday’s trip to Espanyol.

A Luis Suarez brace, either side of Fedor Smolov’s 50th-minute equaliser, had them on course to do so but Aspas struck late in what could be a crucial moment in this tight title race.
