Atletico Madrid were held 0-0 at home by Athletic Bilbao yesterday.

Antoine Griezmann had an effort chalked off in either half but he was clearly onside when he scored in the second period - as was Tiago Mendes when he found the net shortly afterwards, but again the linesman denied the hosts.

Athletic were reduced to 10 men in injury time when Unai Bustinza was sent off for two bookable offences, but there was no time for the hosts to take advantage and they failed to score at the Calderon for just the second league match all season.

Diego Simeone's side stay third in the table while Athletic temporarily move up to seventh, one point ahead of Malaga who host Elche on Sunday.
