Suarez late show puts Atleti back on top
Atletico Madrid returned to the summit of LaLiga as Luis Suarez's dramatic 90th-minute goal sealed a 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.
Diego Simeone's side dropped to second after Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Celta Vigo, but a fourth consecutive top-flight victory restored a two-point advantage over its city rival. Atleti also has two games in hand.
Marcos Llorente put the visitor ahead after 41 minutes with his latest long-range effort – his five from outside the penalty area since the beginning of 2020 more than any other LaLiga player.
Alaves brushed off Victor Laguardia's 63rd-minute red card to pull level six minutes from time through Felipe's outrageous own goal, but Suarez popped up at the death to snatch a memorable win for Los Rojiblancos.
