Last-gasp Levante salvage Celta Vigo draw

A last-minute goal from Roger Marti has earned Levante a 1-1 draw at Celta Vigo in La Liga.

The hosts went ahead in the 37th minute when Enrique De Lucas converted from close range after he was picked out by Iago Aspas.

De Lucas nearly made it 2-0 early in the second half, but he was inches away from making contact with Michael Krohn-Dehli's low cross.

Levante were almost gifted an equaliser in the 63rd minute when goalkeeper Javi Varas failed to get hold of the ball, but he managed to recover with Obafemi Martins in waiting.

Celta had a great chance to double their lead with 20 minutes left, only for Gustavo Cabral to be denied twice on the line by a desperate visiting defence.

Levante snatched a leveller in the 89th minute as Marti pounced in the area before slotting in.

There was still time for the hosts to carve out a final opportunity, but Mario Bermejo could only put his header over the crossbar.
