MADRID, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Barcelona recovered from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at home to Real Zaragoza in the Primera Liga on Saturday, while Getafe also came from behind to beat Valencia 2-1 and take top spot.

Barca striker Samuel Eto'o rescued a point for the champions two minutes from time when he pounced to net his sixth goal of the season in a frantic finish to the game.

Zaragoza's Argentinian brothers Gabriel and Diego Milito had stunned the home crowd with two quick goals at the start of the second half in the Nou Camp.

But Barca got a penalty with 13 minutes left when Paraguayan defender Delio Toledo brought down Dutchman Mark van Bommel in the area.

Toledo was sent off for his second yellow and Brazilian forward Ronaldinho scored from the spot, leaving Eto'o to prise a point from what had looked a lost cause.

GETAFE TOP

Barcelona moved up to third in the table with nine points behind Celta Vigo, who travel to Cadiz on Sunday when fourth-placed Real Madrid host Real Mallorca.

Getafe moved two points clear at the top as they moved onto 14 points after coming from behind to win their first home game of the season against Valencia.

The visitors' striker David Villa celebrated his recall to the Spain squad with his sixth goal of the season, diving to head home Vicente's cross after 30 minutes.
