Watch: 10-man Espanyol stuns Eibar with late 3-goal comeback
@LaLigaStreet / Twitter
Espanyol's efforts to claw back from a 3-0 half-time deficit on Saturday took a severe blow when Felipe Caicedo received his marching orders for a second yellow on 84 minutes. By then, the Barcelona-based club had drawn to within one goal of visiting SD Eibar, but completing the feat shorthanded seemed too big an ask.
That was until Leo Baptistao stepped up with 83 seconds left. The Brazilian capitalised on some indecision from the Eibar defence to stride forward and bang one into the bottom corner. Comeback complete.
La Liga is unlikely to serve up a more enthralling fightback for the remainder of the 2016-17 term.
