La Liga has turned red hot with Atlético's stumble in San Mamés. With this defeat, Simeone's men are two points ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona, although they have one game less. On Thursday they face Granada and if Koeman's men win they become the new leaders. Sevilla is three points behind the lead.
Day in which the hands were back in focus. Real Madrid claimed a penalty from Betis by the hand of Miranda and in San Mamés Atlético another by Unai Núñez. Neither of the two were whistled but it did happen at the Sánchez Pizjuán. In Nervión the VAR called to review one of Acuña, which would end up being pointed out and which would transform Soldado, although it was not enough for Granada, which ended up losing. The technology also entered Celta-Osasuna to concede a maximum penalty from Aspas over Roberto Torres. The VAR in Valencia-Alavés was key, which annulled a goal to Gameiro outside of the interference game by Maxi Gómez, and that without said intervention Calleja's would not have added a point that could be decisive in the fight for permanence. In the Martínez Valero there was also an irruption of this tool, which helped Medié Jiménez to lower the sanction to Vezo, who he expelled at first but ended up in yellow.
