Manucho fired a second-half double as Rayo Vallecano fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Primera Division rivals Real Betis.
The Angola international, a half-time substitute, struck twice within six minutes of the second half to cancel out Ruben Castro's first-half brace for Real Betis as Rayo extended their unbeaten league run to seven matches.
Betis almost snatched it in stoppage time when midfielder Dani Ceballos' shot hit a post, but the visitors were worthy of a point.
Rayo have now drawn their last three fixtures by the same scoreline, while Betis have also drawn their last three matches and remain unbeaten in four.
Castro opened the scoring in the 14th minute when he headed home Francisco Molinero's cross and the Betis striker took his tally to 12 for the season with another header from Jorge Molina's 28th-minute corner.
Manucho replaced injured Venezuelan forward Miku during the interval and hauled the visitors back into the match three minutes after the restart, latching onto a ball in from Roberto Trashorras to head home his second goal of the season.
Three minutes later Manucho notched his third goal in two matches - he was also on target in last week's 2-2 home draw against Sevilla - as he crashed the ball home from close range after the Betis defence had failed to clear in the area.
Vallecano striker Bebe was inches away from giving the visitors the lead soon after when his shot missed the top corner by a whisker, while Ceballos' shot in the third minute of time added on struck an upright.
