Atletico Madrid lead cut to one point after 1-1 draw with Betis
Atletico Madrid's lead at the top of La Liga was reduced to just one point after a dramatic 30th round of matches.

First-half goals from Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos were enough for Real Madrid to win a hugely entertaining Clasico at home to Barcelona in a game that saw Oscar Mingueza pull a second-half goal back for Barca and youngster Ilaix Moriba rattle the Madrid crossbar with virtually the last kick of the match.
Benzema opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a backheel after Lucas Vazquez's cross and Kroos doubled Madrid's lead with a deflected free kick in the 27th minute as Madrid made Barca suffer on the break.
With the second half was played in pouring rain Mingueza scored for Barca from eight yards out and the game was in the balance until the final whistle as Real Madrid sat deep to defend in the closing minutes.
