    That's the end of this live text, thanks for joining us today.

    Valencia are back in action on Wednesday as they host Granada in the Spanish Cup. Barcelona are at home to Espanyol later that day.

    Real Madrid won't be in midweek action as they were disqualified from the cup as you might remember.

  2. What does that do to the table?published at 21:21

    Real Madrid are now four points behind leaders Atletico Madrid - this was their game in hand. They are two points off Barca, having played a game more.

    Valencia - with their third draw in four La Liga games under Gary Neville - move up one place to 10th.

    If only we could have had a few more minutes. Fantastic ending to the game. But it's over now.

    Oh my. Valencia break and Alvaro Negredo should win it - he's unmarked - but he fires straight at keeper Keylor Navas and then Andre Gomes fires the rebound wide.

    At the other end Gareth Bale smashes over.

    Gary Neville is really going for this now. Real Madrid haven't even kicked off yet and Valencia's manager brings on striker Alvaro Negredo for midfielder Dani Parejo.

    Valencia are level within seconds. Rodrigo de Paul's cross is headed across goal by his fellow Rodrigo and Paco Alcacer heads past Keylor Navas from about three yards out. Magic.

    Valencia bring on former Bolton loanee Rodrigo for Lucas Orban. That's an attacking midfielder for a left-back. Is Gary Neville going all out for a first La Liga win? Brave.

    Paco Alcacer almost finds Rodrigo de Paul with a through ball but Luka Modric just cuts it out. De Paul was in there if the Croat didn't nail that interception.

    Real are on the rocks here.

    This game is really starting to open up and Luka Modric's shot from just outside the box is saved by Jaume Domenech, who started the season as Valencia's fourth choice keeper.

    Real Madrid keeper Keylor Navas thinks he has all the time in the world as the ball comes to him. Valencia striker Paco Alcacer charges towards it and the keeper gets to it first. Just. Very, very casual from Navas there.
