MADRID (AP) — Espanyol came within a minute of ending its 13-year winless run against Barcelona in the Spanish league after conceding in the sixth minute of stoppage time in a 2-2 draw at home. The draw came as a relief for Barcelona but halted its good run after consecutive league victories against Alavés and defending champion Atlético Madrid.

Nabil Fekir scored twice and Edgar González and William Carvalho added a goal each to secure Manuel Pellegrini’s team its seventh win in its last nine matches in all competitions.
