VIDEO: Sergio Busquets' stoppage time goal lifts Barcelona to victory
It wasn't pretty, but Barcelona finally came away with three points from their encounter with Valencia after a goal-mouth scramble in stoppage time.
The two sides looked to be on their way to a scoreless draw after a hard-fought contest where Valencia enjoyed the majority of chances on net while Barcelona, predictably, won the battle for possession.
Everything changed in stoppage time as Lionel Messi's cross into the box met the head of Neymar. The Brazilian had his effort stopped by the 'keeper, but Sergio Busquets was there to collect the rebound and smash the ball into the net for the game-winning goal.
Unfortunately, there was an ugly scene as the Barcelona players celebrated the goal when Lionel Messi was struck on the head by a bottle that was thrown from the crowd. Ironically, Messi was shown a yellow card when he complained about the incident.
