Real Madrid moved a point clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga despite being held to a 2-2 draw at home by relegation-threatened Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Santi Mina's 85th-minute equaliser cancelled out a comeback from Los Blancos, after Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos had found the net. The latter scored from the penalty spot when the returning Eden Hazard won a foul in the box.

Kroos and Ramos brought the leaders back after Fedor Smolov had given Celta a shock early lead at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The stalemate in the Spanish capital was enough to move Celta above Mallorca and out of the bottom three.
