Real Madrid's 94th-minute equaliser salvaged a dramatic 2-2 draw against Sevilla on Sunday as an extraordinary penalty decision swung La Liga's title race back in Atletico Madrid's favour. But VAR prompted referee Juan Martinez to check an Eder Militao handball a few seconds before, with a huge decision seeing Madrid's penalty cancelled and a spot-kick awarded to Sevilla instead. Atletico are two points clear of both Real Madrid and Barcelona, with the title now very much back in their hands. With a superior head-to-head record over Barcelona, Real Madrid scraping a draw could yet prove decisive, given they only have to overtake one team now instead of two. But Martinez cancelled Madrid's penalty and awarded one to Sevilla instead, with Rakitic stepping up and slotting into the corner.
