Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham was shown a red card in the final moments of his team’s match against Valencia for complaining
Vinicius Jr scored twice at the Mestalla, where he was the victim of racist abuse last season, as Real came from 2-0 behind to salvage a point and move seven points clear at the top of La Liga.
Bellingham thought he had won the game six minutes into stoppage time when he headed in from close range, but referee Gil Manzano had blown the whistle to end the game before the cross had been delivered.
Real players and staff surrounded Manzano, and Bellingham, back in the side after three weeks out with an injury, was shown a red card for his part in the protests.
The draw stretched Real’s unbeaten league run to 21 games and extended their lead at the top, although second-placed Girona have a game in hand.
