Atlético de Madrid is at a deadlock with Espanyol.

Espanyol held Atlético de Madrid to a 0-0 tie, preventing them from moving up to second place in LaLiga.

Diego Simeone's team made a fast start, with Julián Alvarez attacking Joan García's goal in the first few minutes.

Alexander Sørloth missed two chances in the first half, including a header and a scuffed shot, after Samuel Lino's attempt hit the post.

Alex Kral assisted Álvaro Tejero's cross to Javi Puado at the far post, but the latter sliced the ball over Jan Oblak's crossbar from close range.

Rodrigo Riquelme thought to have given the hosts the lead after the break when he prodded home, but VAR ruled it offside.

Pablo Barrios and Antoine Griezmann both missed shots, but the Colchoneros remained in contention.

Riquelme had another golden opportunity in the dying minutes after being set up by Griezmann, but he was unable to direct his shot on goal.

Deep into additional time, the winger was denied another goal, this time for offside.

Atleti are fourth after their second stalemate of the season, while Espanyol are still in the relegation zone after three games.
