Struggling Osasuna won only their second point away from home all season as they stormed back to draw 3-3 against Valencia and put a dent in their rival's Champions League hopes on Monday. Valencia went into the game looking to close the gap on the top four with Villarreal and Espanyol both losing at the weekend but in the end it was Osasuna who were celebrating having recorded just one previous point away against Deportivo la Coruna.
"It was a game in which both teams had a half in which they were superior and in the second-half we were unable to cope with Osasuna's attacks," said Valencia coach Unai Emery. "We worried about conceding an equaliser and that was what happened. We have to be critical of ourselves and be stronger." Meanwhile Osasuna coach Jose Antonio Camacho praised the way his side battled back at 3-1 down. "We didn't deserve to be two goals down but in the second half it was all us," he said.
