Toothless Atletico Madrid held at Villarreal in scoreless draw


Atletico Madrid's problems deepened as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Villarreal in La Liga on Friday, stretching their winless run to four games in all competitions and further denting their fading hopes of getting back in the title race.
Atleti's €126 million ($138.88 million) signing Joao Felix failed to convert any of his six chances, including a glaring miss in the first half where he appeared unmarked in the box but somehow sent the ball over the bar from close range.
