Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was guilty of a poor error that allowed Valencia to equalise in La Liga on Monday night.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Barcelona endured a nightmare first-half against Valencia despite taking the lead through Fermin Lopez against Valencia. The visitors were quick to reply with a little help from Ter Stegen. The goalkeeper came off his goalline and attempted to chip Hugo Duro but saw the ball hit the Valencia forward's chest instead. Duro then had the simple take of tapping the ball into an empty net for 1-1.
