Thomas Partey registered his second La Liga goal of the season as Atletico Madrid were held to a 2-2 draw by Valencia.
The Ghana international scored as his outfit picked an away point at the Estadio de Mestalla.
Marcos Llorente opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid in the 15th minute but they were pegged back when Gabriel Paulista equalised five minutes to the break.
However, Thomas Partey restored his side’s advantage two minutes to half time when he went on a solo run before firing in a fierce shot from the edge of the 18-yard area which left Valencia goalie Jaume Domenech with no chance.
The home side once again drew levelled courtesy Geoffrey Kondogbia in the 59th minute.
