Tien-man Atletico Madrid missed the opportunity to move the top of Laliga, after the winner of Mauro Arambarri's stop-time-time winner Getafe saw a dramatic 2-1 win in Estadio Coliseum.
Match report
The attacker struck twice in the room of four minutes, while the hosts produced a beautiful turning point to numb Diego Simeone's side, who had sent Angel Correa.
After the Barcelona match against Osasuna was postponed on Saturday after the death of club Arts Carles Minarro Garcia, Atletico was given the opportunity to move the Blaugrana at the top.
Los Rojiblancos first struck in the 75th minute when replacement Alexander Sorloth slid home from the penalty spot, after Omar Alderete was punished for handball after a VAR review.
However, they were reduced 13 minutes later to 10 men when Correa a straight red card was shown for a dangerous challenge.
Within a few seconds, Getafe benefited on their numeric advantage when Arambarri shot a rebound away when, in the second minute of the stopping time, the shot of Diego Rico beered by Jan Oblak to grab all three points.
