Atletico Madrid moved back to within a point of Barcelona at the top of La Liga with a comfortable 2-0 win at home to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. David Villa and Diego Costa were again the men who inflicted the damage on the Basques as the former opened the scoring with a volley from Juanfran's cross on 32 minutes. And Costa scored his 13th goal in 12 league games this season with a brilliant individual effort eight minutes later.
Victory also means Atletico maintain their five point advantage over city rivals Real Madrid in third. Athletic could have gone above Villarreal into fourth had they taken anything from the game, but they were swept away by a confident Atletico side that have now won all six of their league games at the Vicente Calderon this season.
