Barca celebrations put on ice by Villarreal

By Mark Elkington

MADRID (Reuters) - Barcelona must wait a little longer to clinch the Primera Liga title after Villarreal struck back to earn a dramatic 3-3 draw with a stoppage-time goal from Joseba Llorente at the Nou Camp on Sunday.

The Champions League and King's Cup finalists were cruising at 3-1 after first-half goals from Seydou Keita, Samuel Eto'o and Daniel Alves.

But a red card for defender Eric Abidal 12 minutes from time opened the door for Villarreal, and Matias Fernandez scored from the penalty spot before Llorente squirmed clear to lash a shot high into the net for his second of the match.

The leaders have 86 points, eight ahead of Real Madrid, who lost 3-0 at Valencia on Saturday, with three games to play.

"We only need one more point with nine left to play for. We are effectively champions already. It would be a miracle if we don't win it now," Eto'o told Radio Marca.

Sevilla are third with 63 and Valencia fourth on 59 after both won on Saturday.

Atletico are fifth with 58 after Diego Forlan scored a last-minute winner against Espanyol, the Madrid side fighting back from 2-0 down with 10 men to win 3-2 at the Calderon.

Forlan's double took his tally for the season to 27.
