What a win for Valencia. They had the better of the chances and despite chasing the ball for much of the match held firm at the back. Barcelona were poor. Setien will have a lot to reflect on after this. They just didn't create enough in the final third. It's been the same story in each of their last three games.
FULL TIME: Valencia 2-0 Barcelona
PICTURE: Valencia deserve their win.
Messi freekick... atrocious! That's the fourth freekick effort the Barcelona number 10 has had right on the edge of the box and that's it's worst of the lot as the ball balloons over the crossbar.
There will be four minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.
Off comes Soler and the Valencia midfielder gets a standing ovation from the home supporters.

Time is running out for Barcelona and it doesn't look like they are about to mount a late comeback. Valencia look comfortable and they will be deserved winners. Barcelona have been poor.
... and the second Barcelona change sees Collado come on for the ineffective Ansu.

It's going to be a double change from Setien with Rakitic coming off the bench...

So the corner kick was taken again after a lengthy delay as the referee spoke to the VAR. That was a confusing moment. Never seen anything like that before. Is that in the laws of the game?
Confusion! The referee has said that the corner kick should be taken again! It's surely either a goal or a foul? Or is he saying it wasn't a foul and that he blew early? This is very, very strange!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Gabriel has the ball in the back of the net from a corner kick, but the referee has blown up for a foul by the Valencia defender. There was a push on Busquets.
Setien looks resigned to defeat on the touchline. This has been a really poor performance from Barcelona. They have offered very little in attack and have been slack at the back.
Gomez gets a standing ovation from the home supporters. He missed a penalty in the first half, but has made the difference in the second.

Barcelona were slow to react to a quick throw-in from Valencia and they never really recovered from that as they were caught short at the back. Gomez had so much time and space!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Valencia 2 (77 mins - Maxi Gomez) Barcelona 0. That could well be game over! Valencia have doubled their lead and Gomez has found the back of the net! This is his goal for sure! That was far too easy. Torres made the chance and passed to Gomez who guided his shot into the far corner of the net.

Messi is on one in this second half and that makes these final 15 minutes very long for Valencia. There is a long way to go and Barcelona are finally turning the screw on their opponents.
