Getafe Upset Atletico Madrid With Late Arambarri Goals

Atletico Madrid's hopes of seizing the La Liga top spot were dashed on Sunday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Getafe, dealing a significant blow to their title ambitions.

Diego Simeones men, second in the table, had the chance to move to the summit after Barcelona's match was postponed on Saturday.

Atletico seemed on track for the win after Alexander Sorloth converted a penalty in the 75th minute.

However, a red card for Angel Correa and two late goals from Getafe's Mauro Arambarri saw the hosts secure a stunning victory.

Despite the Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday, Simeone fielded a strong side. Yet Getafes defensive strategy stifled Atleticos attacking efforts in a lackluster first half.
