Panathinaikos came from behind to inflict AEK's first defeat in 22 league games and allow PAOK to go top of the Super League table, while Olympiakos also remains in the title race.

The Greens defeated the champion 2-1 at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium on Wednesday, in a game whose first half was among the season's most spectacular.

PAOK finished first after the regular season of the Super League, and ahead of the playoffs it will have a point's advantage over AEK that conceded a late equalizer at Aris on Sunday.

AEK and PAOK continued with victories at the top two spots of the Super League table over the weekend, but Panathinaikos dropped two points against bottom team Kifissia at home.

AEK faced sixth-placed Lamia away and won 3-1 on Saturday, courtesy of goals by Domagoj Vida, Niclas Eliasson and Steven Zuber. Sidcley Ferreira scored Lamia's consolation.

Panathinaikos is the so-called "winter champion" for a second year in a row, having finished the first half of the regular season on top with its 4-0 home thumping of OFI, but the eventful draw between Volos and Olympiakos will likely have more far-fetching consequences.
