Karim Benzema's 88th-minute equaliser prevented Atletico Madrid from going five points clear at the top of the LaLiga table as Real Madrid held their city rivals to a 1-1 derby draw.

Real, who had penalty claims waved away despite Felipe's apparent handball, rallied in the closing stages and although Benzema was twice denied by Jan Oblak, he finished a fine move with two minutes to go.

Atletico move three points clear of Barca while they remain five ahead of Real – although they have a game in hand on both their rivals – after their late misfortune on a day when Kieran Trippier returned to the ranks after a 10-week betting ban.
