Antoine Griezmann scored a priceless equaliser five minutes from time to salvage a point for Atletico Madrid and dent Real Madrid's title hopes after a 1-1 draw in the derby at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.

Pepe had put La Liga's leaders in front on 52 minutes, but Atleti battled back to leave Los Blancos just three points clear of second-placed Barcelona. The Blaugrana can move level on points at the top with a win over Malaga later today.

Real manager Zinedine Zidane restored the famed front three of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale.
