La Liga: Relegation-battling Celta Vigo hold Atletico Madrid

Celta Vigo earned a valuable point in their battle against relegation by holding Atletico Madrid to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night.

Alvaro Morata gave Diego Simeone’s side the lead inside the opening minute but Celta equalised minutes after the breakthrough a Fran Beltran strike.

Atleti took the lead after 51 minutes with a worked move down the right-flank with Santiago Arias finding Angel Correa whose delivery found Morata to fire home.

However, midfielder Beltran levelled things up four minutes into the second half with a lobbed finish over Atleti goalkeeper Jan Oblak, although how much the Celta player knew is in question.

The Galician side have remarkably picked up at least a point against every side in the top ten this season, while this result means Atleti stay third.
