A terrible blunder from Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Ivo Grbic gifted La Liga basement side Elche a 1-0 victory at home on Sunday - only their fourth win of the season.
The Croatian keeper, standing in for the injured Jan Oblak, let a long throw-in from the left touchline slip through his hands inside the six-yard box, with Elche's Fidel Chaves in the right place to tap the ball into a wide-open net in the 41st minute. The loss left Atletico third in the table on 69 points, two behind local rivals Real Madrid, who beat Getafe 1-0 on Saturday.
Runaway leaders Barca have 82 points and will get the chance to clinch their 27th LaLiga crown with four games to spare when they face Espanyol later on Sunday.
