Partey gives away penalty in Atletico Madrid stalemate with Valladolid

Atletico Madrid played out a 0-0 draw with Real Valladolid at Estadio Jose Zorrilla on Sunday, with Thomas Partey causing the most noteworthy moment.

The Ghanaian was in superb form heading into this clash, claiming the Man of the Match in the Madrid Derby last weekend, before finding the back of the net in Atleti's 2-0 Champions League victory at Lokomotiv Moscow in midweek.

He turned villain this time around, fouling Sandro Ramirez just past the half-hour mark, and after a lengthy check with VAR, referee Jose Maria Sanchez awarded Valladolid a penalty, but Ramirez blasted his effort over the crossbar.
