Atletico Madrid travelled to Celta Vigo on Sunday evening knowing that victory would see them move four points behind the La Liga leaders Real Madrid after 23 games of the season.
The hosts had much the better of the first period, but could not make the breakthrough at the mid-way point.
Celta took the lead just before the hour mark, however, with Nolito scoring from the penalty spot.
The home side then had their second after 71 minutes when Fabian Orellana netted from a wide angle.
