Messi tees up Suarez to salvage Barca point at Betis

Barcelona was perhaps a tad fortunate to get a 1-1 draw at Real Betis on Sunday, but it still counts as two points dropped for the Catalonian giant in its pursuit for La Liga's summit.
A largely forgettable performance from Luis Suarez was corrected late on, when Lionel Messi expertly found the Uruguayan with an incisive pass through the Betis backline on 90 minutes.
The equaliser came just moments after officials failed to see the ball crossing the line for a Cristiano Piccini own goal, and in the same move Neymar was felled for what appeared to be a penalty:
