(CNN) -- Cristiano Ronaldo salvaged a point for Real Madrid in a pulsating and controversial Madrid derby Sunday to keep his side top of the three-way title race in La Liga.

Real were trailing Atletico 2-1 with eight minutes remaining when he equalized after an assist from Gareth Bale, firing home from the edge of the area.

The draw left Real three points clear of Atletico, but defending champions Barcelona closed to within a point with a 4-1 win over Almeria later Sunday.

Alexis Sanchez put them ahead after just eight minutes in the Nou Camp before Lionel Messi made it 2-0 with a stunning free kick, his eighth goal in six games.

Angel Trujillo pulled one back for the visitors and it took late goals from Carles Puyol and Xavi to seal the victory.

Atletico were looking to complete the league double over their capital rivals but were beaten 5-0 on aggregate by Real in the Copa del Rey semifinals last month.

When Karim Benzema put the league leaders in front after just three minutes from an Angel di Maria cross it looked as Los Rojiblancos would be left with red faces again, but it proved the opposite.

Sergio Ramos appeared fortunate not to concede a penalty when he tripped star Atletico striker Diego Costa but the home side were in front by half time as Koke and Gabi struck with spectacular long range efforts.

A further penalty appeal involving Costa in the second half was also turned away and home assistant coach Mono Burgos was sent to the stands for protesting.

Tony was riding his bike home from school. Then he saw Cindy riding her bike in front of him.

Tony yelled, "Hey, Cindy!" Then he rode faster to catch up with her.

Cindy said, "Tony! Hey! Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the empty lot on Maple Street to ride my bike. The other kids are going to be there. Do you want to come?"

"Sure," said Cindy.

Tony and Cindy rode to Maple Street, to the empty lot. The empty lot did not have a house on it. Instead, it had big hills of dirt, and it had trees cut down on the ground. There was a low part that became a pond after it rained. The lot had been empty for a couple of years, because times were bad and the builder couldn't find a buyer for another house. The kids had ridden their bikes over the hills of dirt, around the cut trees, and through the muddy pond. There were bike trails all over the empty lot. There were even places where the kids could jump their bikes.

There were three other children riding their bikes at the empty lot when Tony and Cindy arrived: Lana, Billy and Chris.

Cindy said, "I am calling my mom to let her know that I'm here."

Tony said, "That's a good idea. Can I use your phone when you're done?"

Cindy said "Sure! Keep it for now. I'm going to go on the jump path. I was scared to try it last time. I don't want to break my phone if I fall. I'm leaving my backpack here, too."

Thomas heard a knocking noise downstairs and knew it was Ben at the door. He got excited. This meant they would be sledding soon.
