Griezmann salvages draw as Barca disappoints again
Antoine Griezmann salvaged a point for Barcelona as its struggles in LaLiga continued with a disappointing 1-1 draw against 10-man Deportivo Alaves on Sunday (AEDT).
Visitor Barca, which had lost its prior two league matches, fell behind in the first half after a goalkeeping blunder by Neto allowed Luis Rioja to open the scoring.
Alaves had Jota sent off for a second bookable offence just after the hour mark, however, and the Blaugrana quickly equalised with a fine finish from France striker Griezmann.
But Ronald Koeman's side could not forge a decisive second despite late pressure, instead seeing its winless LaLiga run extended to four matches as it languishes down in 12th place on the ladder.
