Atletico Madrid win away to top La Liga

Atletico Madrid moved back to the top of La Liga with a comfortable win at a rainy Celta Vigo.

Antoine Griezmann's 10th league goal of the season and a second-half strike from Yannick Carrasco gave Diego Simeone's side victory.

They lead Barcelona, who beat Granada 4-0 on Saturday, by two points but have played a game more.

The game went ahead despite torrential rain flooding a dressing room and roads around the ground two days earlier.

Atletico travel to the Nou Camp to play Barcelona on 30 January.

Griezmann put Atletico ahead three minutes into the second half with a neat, close-range finish after combining with Koke and Saul.

They doubled their lead through substitute Carrasco, who capitalised on a poor Celta clearance to drill home.
