The final La Liga matchday ahead of the October international break produced some key results including last gasp Sevilla draw against Rayo Vallecano.
Sevilla needed a 96th minute equaliser from star striker Youssef En-Nesyri to steal a 2-2 draw at home to Rayo Vallecano.
Rayo had drawn their previous three league matches prior to heading down to Andalucia and they dominated the opening stages at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Oscar Valentin’s close range finish put the visitors ahead early on before Alvaro Garcia’s superb chip made it 2-0 inside the first 20 minutes.
The home side did rally after the restart as Djibril Sow fired home but Rayo looked set to hold on for a key win away from home.
However, as Sevilla carved out a string of chances late on, En Nesyri’s towering header claimed a point in the dying seconds.
