Athletic Club failed to pick up their first away win of the season, but did manage to preserve their unbeaten record courtesy of a 1-1 draw away at bottom-of-the-table Leganes, who picked up only their second point of the campaign.
Raul Garcia put Athletic ahead in the 59th minute with his fourth goal in his last five La Liga matches, scoring from the penalty spot for the second successive game. However, the lead was only to last a couple of minutes until Oscar equalised for Leganes.
A pair of 2-0 wins for Atletico and Real mean that the Madrid giants leapfrog Athletic in the table, pushing the Basques down to third place, two points behind leaders Real, and a point ahead of surprise package Granada in fourth.
