Antoine Griezmann and Yannick Carrasco each conjured moments of magic as Atletico Madrid recaptured top spot in La Liga from Barcelona with a hard-fought 2-0 victory at Celta Vigo last night.
Chances were scarce on a heavy Balaidos stadium pitch sodden with rain but Griezmann and Carrasco both scored excellent goals to lift Atletico two points clear of Barcelona.
Luis Enrique’s champions won 4-0 at home to Granada on Saturday and have a game in hand over their main rivals, at the halfway stage of the season.
