Atletico Madrid's struggles in La Liga persisted as they were held to a dramatic 1-1 draw by Mallorca on Sunday, with goalkeeper Leo Roman delivering an outstanding performance before Vedat Muriqi’s late header cancelled out Conor Gallagher's opener.

The result left Diego Simeone's side languishing in 12th place with six points from five matches, while Mallorca are 19th with two points. Real Madrid lead the league with 15 points.

Roman was pivotal for Mallorca, frustrating Atletico throughout the match with a series of remarkable saves.

The 25-year-old Spaniard's heroics began early, denying Giacomo Raspadori's audacious second-minute attempt with a one-handed save, before palming away Pablo Barrios's effort in the seventh minute.
