Both teams came alive in the second half after a cagey first period when Trigueros found the back of the net seven minutes after the restart with a lovely curling effort. Suarez answered immediately with a first-time finish of his own to level the score just before the hour but the visitors thought they’d wrapped up the victory when Danjuma was put through on-goal and took his chance with confidence with just a quarter-hour left.
A last moment own goal would deny Emery his first ever victory over Simeone, as a miscommunication led to Mandi’s backpass rolling into his own net for a 2-2 finish. Atletico Madrid travel to face Espanyol after the international break on September 12, while Villarreal play Deportivo Alaves on the 11th.
