MADRID, Sept. 23 -- FC Barcelona dropped their first points of the season as they were surprisingly held to a 2-2 draw at home to Girona on Sunday night.

Things had appeared to be going to plan when Leo Messi opened the scoring, but the VAR then controversially decided that Barca defender Clement Lenglet should be sent off after using his elbow for protecting himself.

Cristhian Stauni then scored twice to give Girona a shock lead, although Gerard Pique was able to save a point for Barca.

Earlier in the day, the east coast derby between Villarreal and Valencia ended in a 0-0 draw which means Valencia remain without a win all season.

Sunday began with Sevilla producing an exceptional display to stun Levante 6-2 in Levante's Ciudad de Valencia Stadium to add to Thursday's 5-1 thrashing of Standard Liege in the Europa League.

Wissam Ben Yedder netted a first half hat-trick, while Daniel Carricio also netted as Sevilla led 4-1 at the break before second half strikes from Andre Silva and Pablo Sarabia sealed the win with half an hour still to play.

Sevilla's neighbors, Betis came back from 2-0 down to claim a point at home to Athletic Club Bilbao. Athletic led 2-0 through goals from Inaki Williams and Raul Garcia and controlled the game until Markel Susaeta was sent off at the end of the first half.

Against 10 men and with temperatures of 34 degrees centigrade, Betis went on the attack and drew level through Marc Bartra and Sergio Canales, although Athletic hung on for a point.
