Suarez was wrongly denied a goal as Barcelona were held to a 2-2 draw against Celta

Luis Suarez was denied what should have been a goal against Celta Vigo after the officials judged him to be in an offside position.

Barca had to settle for a 2-2 draw in Saturday's clash but a second contentious call in as many games in La Liga looked to have cost them points.

Suarez was put through on goal and coolly slotted home but was denied when the assistant raised his flag for offside, despite replays showing Pione Sisto had appeared to play the Uruguayan onside.

It comes just six days after Lionel Messi scored a 'goal' for Barcelona in his side's 1-1 draw against Valencia as clearly crossed the line - but it did not stand as the officials missed it.

Barcelona were denied a goal after Neto spilled Lionel Messi's shot over the line.

The visitors took an unlikely 20th-minute lead against Celta as Iago Aspas netted from a rebound, but Messi (22) equalised less than two minutes later.

Suarez (62) gave the home side the lead just past the hour as he coolly slotted past Ruben Blanco, however, there was a sting in the tail for the league leaders as Maxi Gomez (70) slammed home eight minutes later to ensure the points were shared.

The draw leaves Barcelona five points clear of Valencia in second, who play Getafe on Sunday and could close the gap at the top of the table to just two points.
