  1. Goodnight!published at 22:30 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    Well, what a match.

    Jude Bellingham thought he'd won it for Real Madrid when he headed in deep into added time. But the referee had already blown his whistle for full-time in the build-up to the attack and the goal did not count.

    Dramatic scenes ensued with the England midfielder sent off as Real Madrid's players surrounded the referee.

    I'm sure that will be a talking point heading into the latter stages of the season as Los Blancos continue their title charge. Could it affect their chances of a 36th La Liga trophy? We shall see.

    Thanks for joining us, goodnight!

    FT: Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid remain top of the league after that result but Girona will see that as the door being slightly ajar. They could close the gap to four points with victory over Mallorca on Sunday.

    Next up for Real Madrid it's RB Leipzig in the Champions League as they aim to reach the quarter-finals. They lead 1-0 from the first leg in Germany.

    Valencia sit ninth in La Liga and face Getafe next week.

    It is! Wow!

    Jude Bellingham receives a red card for dissent after the final whistle. That is very disappointing for the England midfielder, who was making his first appearance this evening after three games sidelined with an ankle injury.

    What a match - drama, drama, drama.

    It was Jude Bellingham who headed in that stoppage-time goal but the referee had already blown his whistle.

    How big could that prove to be in the context of the title race?

    Looking at the replay it could well be Bellingham who got the red card after that incident, he was absolutely fuming with the referee.

    It's gone absolutely crazy! The Real Madrid players swarm the referee and Carlo Ancelotti is in there trying to calm his players down.

    Someone has been sent off but I have no idea who, craziness.

    Oh my word!

    Late, late drama at the Mestalla as a cross comes in but as it does the referee blows his whistle.

    Real Madrid think they've won it as the ball ends up in the back of the net but it's too late! The referee had already blown up!

    The added time is up. Real Madrid have a late, late corner.

    Another glorious chance for Peter Gonzalez. It falls to him around 15 yards out and he opens his body up and whips towards the goal but it flies over.

    What a chance.

    Luka Modric whips in but it amounts to nothing.

    Valencia look to get on the break and charge up towards the other end. Peter Gonzalez decides to go for it and it's a really decent effort. Whipped in and bending towards the corner. A good save from Andriy Lunin prevents Valencia getting a late winner.

    Gonzalez waves his arms towards the crowd to get them going.

    Vinicius Junior floats over a superb ball looking for Jude Bellingham but it's turned behind for a corner.

    The visitors have mere moments to take the three points.

    If things stay like this, Real Madrid remain top six points ahead of Girona, who play Mallorca tomorrow.

    They will see this as a decent result for their title hopes.

  13. NO PENALTYpublished at 90+3 mins

    Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid

    The referee is being sent over to the monitor to have a look at this one. Late, late drama.

    Hugo Duro swipes at the ball and goes down with Nacho and Fran Perez involved.

    The referee overturns his original decision - no penalty!

  14. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:57 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    We're into seven minutes of added time, by the way.

  15. PENALTY - VALENCIApublished at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March

    Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid

    Drama! The game is back under way and straight away Valencia build an attack.

    Nacho flies in on Hugo Duro and the referee points to the spot.

    The VAR will have a look at this.

    It was quite difficult to tell who was actually involved in that horrid tackle but it is in fact Mouctar Diakhaby who looks to have a suffered a serious injury there.

    He's carried off on a stretcher. We wish him all the best.

    This is pretty horrible.

    The physios are quickly on with a stretcher as the players put their faces in their hands.

    Oh my goodness. What has happened here? A Valencia player has gone down and from the reaction of all the players on the pitch this is a bad one.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 83 mins

    Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid

    It's all got a bit scrappy. Valencia look to break from a free-kick but the ball gets away from Selim Amallah.

    Then, Mouctar Diakhaby is the latest to go into the book for a rash challenge from behind.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 81 mins

    Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid

    Federico Valverde flies in on Selim Amallah and winds up in the book. Bit of a 'take one for the team' tackle.
