(Reuters) – Atletico Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw at city rivals Rayo Vallecano on Sunday after Conor Gallagher cancelled out Isi Palazon’s opener for the hosts.
Palazon put Rayo ahead in the 35th minute off a fine pass from Andrei Ratiu after a quick breakaway, with the goal initially disallowed for offside but awarded after a VAR review.
Gallagher equalised four minutes after the break, following brilliant play from Alexander Sorloth for his second LaLiga goal of the season.
Atletico, who are fourth on 12 points, six behind leaders Barcelona, next play at Celta Vigo on Thursday.
