And breathe! Valencia had the chances right at the end to win it, but Neville will be pleased with a point on reflection. That was Spanish football at its very best, with both sides going hell for leather! Real Madrid miss out on the chance to tie Barcelona at the top of the table.

THAT WAS THE CHANCE! Oh my goodness! On the break Alcacer finds Negredo, who was clean through on goal. But Navas comes out to make the save! That should have been three points!
92'
Real Madrid have the chance to sling a few corner kicks into the Valencia penalty area, but Modric doesn't make the most of the opportunities and the home side defend them well.

Everyone inside the Mestalla is on their feet, with the majority urging the home side forward. Valencia are taking the game to Real Madrid in the final few minutes of this excellent match.

PEPE CLATTERS INTO THE KEEPER! The Portuguese centre-back was doing his best to bundle a clipped Modric cross into the net, but the referee has blown up for a foul on Domenech.

Neville is really going for it now, and you can't exactly blame him given the events of the last few minutes! Parejo comes off and is replaced by Negredo, who will give Valencia real presence up front.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Valencia 2 (84 mins - Paco Alcacer) Real Madrid 2. Wow, wow, wow! Valencia were behind for only a few seconds, with Rodrigo knocking a header across the face of it for Alcacer to finish from close range.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Valencia 1 Real Madrid 2 (83 mins - Gareth Bale). What a huge goal for Real Madrid and Benitez! Bale leaps higher than anyone else and flicks a wonderful header into the far corner of the net, in off the post.

Both managers have actually been rather conservative with the changes from the bench so far. Casemiro, Isco and James are all warming up for Real Madrid on the near touchline.

Neville is going for it, going on that change anyway. Off comes Orban, who was playing as a full-back, and on comes Rodrigo - who will play as an attacker. Does that mean they've gone to a back three?

Modric has been excellent for Real Madrid tonight, and with Kovacic now off the pitch he's the one pulling the strings in the centre of the pitch. He's the key man for the final 10 minutes.
78'
This match could go either way now. Valencia have the man advantage, but Real Madrid are still making a real fight of things. They're still pressing to go ahead, here. Great entertainment.
77'
The thing about Kovacic was that he had been arguably the best player on the pitch until he was shown a straight red card. He had given Real Madrid some much needed mobility.
