Celta Vigo grabbed a point from champions Atletico Madrid yesterday.
Pablo Hernandez's audacious first-half goal helped Celta Vigo claim a 2-2 draw from a hugely entertaining clash against Primera Division champions Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon.
Hernandez opened the scoring in the 19th minute when he somehow managed to volley a high hanging ball past Miguel Moya with his heel, but Atletico battled back and were ahead by half-time thanks to goals from centre-back pairing Joao Miranda and Diego Godin.
Celta would not roll over, though, and drew level in the 53rd minute through Nolito's penalty after Carles Planas had been bundled over in the box by Miranda.
Both teams pushed for the win after that but rival goalkeepers Moya and Sergio Alvarez stood firm to ensure their teams remain unbeaten in La Liga.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone remarked: "Today the goals were different. The first was a one-off and the second was a penalty. Two of the last three goals have been scored from the penalty spot but that needs to be improved. The fewer goals we concede the better chance we have of winning."
