Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of this La Liga clash between Levante and Atletico Madrid. Spain may not be home to the best footballers in the world this season, but it is serving up the best title race with first to seventh separated by four points. And with Ronald Koeman the latest manager to collect his P45, the race for the La Liga crown is closer than ever. Having lost 5-3 to Sevilla on Sunday, Levante host yet another team with title ambitions. The club on the coast is the only one to have pulled the trigger earlier than Barcelona after sacking Paco Lopez following a winless start. Successor Javier Pereira won’t be judged on a game against Diego Simone’s team, but will have to start turning things around. Teams coming up...

90'+7
Rober Pier gets sent off. After the whistle. He really was not happy about the ref blowing early.
End of 2nd Half
90'+7
And that's it! Levante were breaking and the ref blows early. And...
90'+7
This is end to end! Both teams swap chances and both teams will be peeved they couldn't take them.
90'+3
Close! Pier almost claims the win in the dying moments.
90'
Goal! Bardhi lasers his penalty to Oblak's right. That it was given was controversial, but there was no doubt about the finish.

How often do you see a manager go off for two yellows? Mourinho earlier this month is the only other I can think of. Up with this sort of thing.
79'
Red card! Well, manager Diego Simeone takes his leave for spouting off on the sidelines.
76'
Atletico score! A rare moment of precision from De Paul in midfield and he slides the ball through to the sub Cunha in the Levante box. One quick swipe and the ball is in the back of the net.

Cunha goes down on the edge of the box. His hands waving for pen before he hit the ground. Not given, and from the following break Levante almost go clear. Certainly could go either way this one.
73'
Cunha is more of a traditional number nine. Atletico preparing for a frantic finish.

Griezmann makes way for Matheus Cunha.
