Griezmann Late Strike Earns Atletico Madrid Derby Draw

Antoine Griezmann scored a late equaliser in the Madrid derby as Atletico held La Liga leaders Real.

Real, who are now three points above Barcelona, took a deserved lead when Pepe headed home Toni Kroos' free-kick.

The European champions continued to dominate but without really testing Atletico keeper Jan Oblak on too many occasions.

And Griezmann levelled for third-placed Atletico when he slid home Angel Correa's through ball.

Barcelona will go top on goal difference if they win at Malaga later on Saturday (19:45 BST), although Real will have a game in hand.

On the balance of play, Real should have won - with Karim Benzema forcing a good first-half save from Oblak and defender Stefan Savic brilliantly clearing Cristiano Ronaldo's shot off the line.
