A last-gasp Sergio Ramos header secured a 1-1 draw for Real Madrid in the Clasico against Barcelona to maintain their six-point lead at the top of LaLiga.

The home side took a 53rd-minute lead thanks to a Luis Suarez header and had chances through Neymar and Lionel Messi to extend their advantage.

But Ramos punished them in the final moments to silence the Nou Camp and extend Real's unbeaten run to 33 games in all competitions. For all the hype it had been a low-quality match, and one which certainly now gives Madrid the edge in this season's title race.

TWEET OF THE MATCH

STAR MAN Luka Modric

Andres Iniesta made a good case in his half-hour cameo for the honour of star man in a disappointing match, but the Croatian edged him. Neat and tidy in the first half, he then made the telling contribution with a perfectly flighted free-kick to find the head of Ramos in the dying seconds.

MOAN OF THE MATCH

With two points dropped, Barcelona will no doubt reflect on a rejected penalty claim at the end of the first half when Dani Carvajal appeared to block a cross from the left with his arm. Having said that, they only had themselves to blame for not winning after glaring misses from Neymar and Messi at 1-0 up.

DATA POINT OF THE MATCH

A win or draw against Borussia Dortmund in midweek will equal Real Madrid's all-time club record unbeaten run in all competitions, set in the 1988-89 season under Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker.
