The hosts were wasteful as they missed a hatful of chances at the RCDE Stadium, but Levante did just enough to claim a point under severe pressure.

Jose Manuel Jurado almost broke the deadlock after 10 minutes, as Levante struggled to get to grips with the task at hand.

Moreno was a constant menace for the Catalan side, but the hosts consistently failed in the penalty area.

Levante's best chance came from the head of Jose Campana, but the game remained goalless until half-time.

The home team were back on the front foot once again in the second half, and Moreno appeared the most likely as he went close three times.

Espanyol believed they had snatched a late winner with nine minutes on the clock, as Moreno's brilliant header crashed into the back of the net.

However, the referee adjudged the scorer had pushed his marker, but TV replays suggested the effort should have stood.

The match ended in controversy as players from both teams clashed, and the visitors defended deep in numbers as home fans willed their team to attack until the final whistle.
