Atletico Madrid's lead cut to one point after draw with Betis

MADRID: Atletico Madrid's lead at the top of La Liga was reduced to just one point after a dramatic 30th round of matches.

Atletico were held to a 1-1 draw away to Betis in a game where Yannick Carrasco put them ahead after just five minutes only for Cristian Tello to equalise in the 20th minute of the game on Sunday, Xinhua news reported.

Atletico lost Joao Felix and Kieran Trippier through injury in the game, while Thomas Lemar also picked up an injury before kick-off.

Angel Correa missed a chance in the last minute of the game, leaving Atletico just one point ahead of Real Madrid, who beat FC Barcelona on Saturday.

Villarreal's hopes of qualifying for next season's Europa League suffered a setback as second-half goals from Jon Moncayola and Ante Budimir gave Osasuna a surprise 2-1 win in the Estadio de la Ceramica.

Real Sociedad were unable to capitalize on Villarreal's defeat as they saw Valencia fight back from 2-0 down to claim a 2-2 draw in the Mestalla Stadium.

Ander Guevara after 33 minutes and Alexander Isak on the stroke of halftime, put 'la Real' 2-0 ahead, but Valencia (who had seen Carlos Soler miss a penalty at 0-0) got back into the game thanks to a goal from Daniel Wass, with Gabriel Paulista's powerful 74th-minute header assuring the points were shared.
