Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga clash between Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Vicente Calderon. Kick-off: 19.30.

That was a technical battle between the two teams, and Villarreal have claimed the point that they came for. Atletico Madrid have dropped two big points ahead of next week's Madrid derby, with Barcelona now boasting an eight point lead in the league. Is that that for their championship chances?

FULL-TIME: Atletico Madrid 0-0 Villarreal

GOOD CHANCE FOR VIETTO! The Argentine raced on to a flicked-on long ball, but Baily was with him the whole way and forced the shot wide of the near post. Was that going in?

That's just so easy for Areola and Villarreal to defend. The delivery from Koke was far too close to the goalkeeper, and the groans go up around the Vicente Calderon crowd.

Three minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the second half.

So many times before Atletico Madrid have snatched wins late in games, normally with a set piece goal. Can they find one here? This could their league chances going up in smoke.

The Vicente Calderon crowd is now starting to get frustrated with what they are seeing on the pitch. It's almost as if Atletico Madrid are running out of steam. Is this a question of fatigue?

If this match stays the same way, Barcelona will end the weekend with an eight point lead at the top of La Liga. This could be the weekend that the championship went back to the Camp Nou.

It's just not happening for Atletico Madrid at the moment. Torres tries to zip a pass into Vietto, but there's far too much on it and the ball flies out of play for a goal kick.

Villarreal sub: Cedric Bakambu OFF, Leo Baptistao ON.

GODIN GOT OVER THE HEADER! That was a chance for the Atletico Madrid centre-back who climbed highest from a corner kick. But he sends his header well over the crossbar!

Atletico Madrid sub: Saul Niguez OFF, Matias Kranevitter ON.

Less than 10 minutes to play at the Vicente Calderon, can either side find a winner? It feels like one goal will be enough to take all three points from this one. Are we going to see one?

AREOLA REACTS IN TIME TO MAKE THE SAVE! Torres got a flick to a Koke cross into the box, but it wasn't enough of a contact and the Villarreal makes the diving save.

What is peculiar about this Atletico Madrid performance is that their pressing game has actually eased off as this second half has progressed. Villarreal now getting more space.

YELLOW CARD: Eric Bailly (Villarreal)

SUAREZ WAS LOOKING FOR THE GAP! Villarreal come flooding forward, with the ball played out to Suarez on the left side. But Juanfran is there to make the all-important block.

Vietto is given a ball to chase in behind the Villarreal defence, but he decides to make the pass early and Bailly is there to make the relatively simple interception. Should have held it up.
