Atletico Madrid 0-0 Athletic Bilbao: Champions held to stalemate at Calderon

Atletico Madrid had cause to feel aggrieved as they twice saw perfectly good goals ruled out in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Athletic Bilbao, who finished with 10 men.

Antoine Griezmann thought he had put Diego Simeone's side in front just before the interval, but his effort was correctly disallowed for an offside in the build-up.

However, the hosts then saw two strikes – from Griezmann and Tiago respectively – erroneously chalked off for offside in the second half.

Though Bilbao were reduced to 10 men late on when Unai Bustinza fouled Saul to earn his second booking, Atletico were unable to find an opening and had to settle for a share of the spoils.
