BARCELONA, JANUARY 10: Rivaldo made a dramatic return for Barcelona on Sunday, the Brazilian popping up in the final minute to seal a 2-0 win over Celta Vigo that lifted the Catalans to second in the Spanish League.

Rivaldo, who sat out two games after a row over tactics with coach Louis Van Gaal, came on as a second half substitute with his side leading 1-0, following Luis Figo8217;s goal after two minutes.

The European player of the year did not take long to make his presence felt as he rose at the far post to nod in Figo8217;s cross in the final seconds. A third win in four games put Barcelona four points behind leaders Deportivo Coruna 37.

LEEDS UNITED WIN: English championship leaders Leeds United held off a spirited challenge from first division front runners Manchester City to win their FA Cup fourth round 5-2 in London.
