Getafe‘s Mauro Arambarri scored a last-gasp quickfire double to upset 10-man Atlético Madrid 2-1 on Sunday as Diego Simeone’s side missed a golden opportunity to move top of LaLiga.
With a game in hand, Barcelona lead with 57 points, one ahead Atletico and three clear third-placed Real Madrid who host Rayo Vallecano later on Sunday.

Atletico’s Alexander Sorloth came off the bench to convert a penalty in the 75th minute after a long VAR review spotted a handball which left the home team fuming.
Seconds after Guillermo Cuadra flashed a straight red to Atlético’s Angel Correa for a studs-up tackle in the 88th minute, however, Arambarri stroked home a rebound from close-range and two minutes into added time he deflected Diego Rico‘s shot past goalkeeper Jan Oblak and into the net.
