Real Madrid were denied victory at rivals Atletico Madrid after conceding in the 95th minute of Sunday’s La Liga encounter.
A tight and tense game so nearly swung the way of Los Blancos, who took the lead midway through the second half before being pegged back deep into stoppage time.
The match was temporarily suspended during the second half due to crowd trouble among ultras in the home end, but the visitors were able to block out the noise and take home the three points.
Both sides at least closed the gap on league leaders Barcelona, who were beaten 4-2 by Osasuna on Saturday.

Down the other end, Samuel Lino twisted outside Dani Carvajal and Militao before firing at goal, with Courtois stretching upwards to thwart his attempt.
Endrick nearly marked his first Madrid derby with a fabulous drive from 25 yards, only for the ball to drift outside the near post.
Atletico thought they had grabbed a 95th-minute equaliser when Angel Correa bundled the ball past Courtois, with the goal initially chalked off for offside. However, after a VAR check with the semi-automated…
