Thomas Partey plays 90 minutes for Atletico Madrid in 1-1 draw with Deportivo

Published on: 03 March 2017

Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey lasted the entire duration of Atletico Madrid's 1-1 draw with Deportivo La Coruna in the Spanish La Liga.

Thomas played in the centre of midfield alongside experienced Spanish midfielder Gabi.

The game will however be remembered for an injury to ex-Liverpool and Chelsea striker Fernando Torres who fell heavily after an 85th-minute aerial challenge with Alex Bergantinos.

Atletico finished the game with 10 men, having used all three substitutes, but earned a point thanks to Antoine Griezmann's stunning 30-yard strike.

Deportivo had taken an early lead in Pepe Mel's first game in charge when Florin Andone capitalised on a poor Jan Oblak goal-kick.

The draw leaves Atletico fourth in La Liga - 11 adrift of leaders Barcelona - while Deportivo are now 17th.
