World goal not enough for Atlético, which continues to struggle outside Madrid

Reigning Spanish champions Atlético Madrid is vulnerable outside Madrid this season and concedes almost two goals per game. That was also the case on Sunday evening. The current number four drew at Villarreal: 2-2.

Ángel Correa opened the scoring beautifully. The Argentinian intercepted the ball on the halfway line and immediately decided to take a shot. With that he outwitted Villarreal goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli.

After a penalty kick missed by Gerard Moreno, the home team took the lead via Pau Torres and Alberto Moreno and Geoffrey Kondogbia made it 2-2 for Atlético. Villarreal played without the unfit Dutch tastemaker Arnaut Danjuma.

Sevilla remain four points behind Real

Sevilla brought the gap with leader Real Madrid back to four points. The number two in Spain won in a mediocre game against Getafe: 1-0.
