Gerard Pique's header kept Barcelona on top of La Liga as Atletico Madrid blew their chance to climb above them.

The defender's goal came as Barcelona dropped points for only the fourth time this season in the 1-1 draw with Levante.

Loukas Vyntra fired the home side into a shock lead in the 10th minute.

But Pique levelled nine minutes later with a close-range header.

That result gave Atletico the chance to go top with a win at home to Sevilla, Mirror.co.uk reports.
