Thomas Partey featured for Atletico Madrid on Saturday afternoon as they blew their chance to go top of the La Liga table after a draw with Leganes.

The Ghanaian international was pretty impressive after coming on in the 72nd for namesake Thomas Lemar.

France forward Antoine Griezmann had given Diego Simeone's side the lead with a sizzling free-kick in the 69th minute in a typically tight game at the Butarque stadium.

But Leganes hit back when striker Guido Carillo stabbed a loose ball over the line in the 82nd after full back Rodrigo Tarin's cross thumped off the underside of the bar.

Atleti are second with 20 points, one point behind champions Barcelona who visit Rayo Vallecano later on Saturday.
