Soccer-Late De Jong header rescues point for Barca at Espanyol

BARCELONA (Reuters) -A 96th minute header from substitute Luuk De Jong saw Barcelona rescue a 2-2 draw away at city rivals Espanyol in LaLiga on Sunday in a game where both sides had a man sent off in the closing stages.

Espanyol looked set for a first home league victory over Barca in 15 years before De Jong turned in Adama Traore's cross to salvage a point.

Xavi Hernandez's side moved back into the fourth and final Champions League spot as a result -- level on 39 points with Atletico Madrid and one ahead of Real Sociedad in sixth.

"We needed to be calmer on the pitch throughout, we were a bit hectic and we need to improve that," Barcelona midfielder Pedri told Movistar.

"Granted, it's a point after coming back from a losing position, but we're disappointed. We came here for three points and are leaving with just one."
