(Reuters) - Geoffrey Kondogbia rescued a point for Atletico Madrid with a second-half strike that secured the champions a 2-2 draw with Villarreal in a breathtaking LaLiga clash on Sunday.

Striker Angel Correa scored a brilliant goal from midfield to hand Atletico the lead but Pau Torres equalised after pouncing on a rebound following a free kick in the 29th minute.

Atletico are fourth in standings with 33 points from 20 matches, 16 points behind leaders Real Madrid. Villarreal are just outside the European spots, eighth with 29 points. "I know Rulli pretty well and know that he likes to stay far away from the goal. So when I saw it, I went all in and the kick was right in," Correa told reporters.
