Atletico Madrid travelled to top-four hopefuls Celta Vigo on Sunday evening knowing that a win would see them return to the top of the La Liga table ahead of reigning champions Barcelona.
Atletico had the better of what was an untidy first period, but the two teams entered the break on terms.
The visitors took the lead early in the second half, however, when Antoine Griezmann turned home from close range, before Yannick Ferreira Carrasco made it 2-0 late on.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.
CELTA: Sergio; Mallo, Cabral, Gomez, Jonny; Radoja, Hernandez, Wass; Orellana, Aspas, Bongonda
