Madrid: Barcelona closed to within two points of leaders Real Madrid as Sergio Busquets's stoppage time handed them a 1-0 win at Valencia on a day La Liga was marred by the death of a Deportivo la Coruna fan who was pulled from a freezing river following violent clashes between rival supporters.

The 43-year-old man was rescued by firefighters from the Manzanares river near the Vicente Calderon stadium, where Deportivo went on to lose 2-0 to Atletico Madrid, but died of cardiac arrest shortly afterwards. He also suffered head injuries and hypothermia.
