VIDEO: Lucy Bronze to the rescue! Lionesses star rescues point for Barcelona against Benfica with expertly-taken header as she recovers from own goal embarrassment

Barcelona's unbeaten run was preserved by a dramatic 4-4 draw against Benfica in the Women's Champions League group match, but the 23-match winning streak did come to an end.

Bronze was initially embarrassed by scoring an own goal in the 81st minute, giving Benfica a 4-3 lead. However, she redeemed herself by scoring a crucial equalizer deep into added time to salvage a point for the Spanish side. The former Manchester City defender leapt highest to head down a looping ball from a corner. The header was perfectly placed, leaving the goalkeeper rooted.

Barcelona took an early lead with Caroline Graham Hansen and Particia Guijaro scoring to make it 2-0 within the first 20 minutes. However, Marie-Yasmine Alidou's brace for Benfica brought them level before halftime.

Hansen secured her second goal in the 54th minute, but Jessica Silva's equalizer for Benfica and Bronze's own goal put the Portuguese side in the driver's seat. The match seemed to be heading for a Benfica win until Bronze made amends for her earlier mistake by scoring at the other end as well.

Barcelona finished as table toppers in Group A with 16 points from five matches. They will now shift their focus back to domestic commitments as they return to action just four days later against Sporting Huelva in the Spanish top flight on Sunday.
