MADRID (AP) — Luis Suárez’s first goal of the season wasn’t enough to extend Atlético Madrid’s perfect start in the Spanish league. The defending champion only avoided defeat because of a bizarre own-goal by a Villarreal defender in the final minute of stoppage time. Aissa Mandi tried to head a ball back toward his area but goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli wasn’t expecting it and the ball slowly rolled past him to seal a 2-2 draw. Memphis Depay earlier scored Barcelona’s winner in a 2-1 victory over Getafe at the Camp Nou Stadium.
