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 La Liga.

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.
