Torres scores as Atletico Madrid draw at Levante

Fernando Torres was again on the mark for Atletico Madrid in their 2-2 draw at Levante.

Last season's champions fell behind to a close range effort from David Barral on 32 minutes but just moments later Guilherme Siqueira leveled. Kalu Uche put the hosts in charge again in the second half but his goal was cancelled out at the other end by Torres.

Despite 41 points separating the two teams in the table, Atletico had to labour for this draw and missed an opportunity to move six points clear of Valencia in fourth, but need just one win from their last two games to clinch third place and an automatic berth in next season's Champions League.

Levante meanwhile look set for another year in the top flight as they move five points above the relegation zone.
