Barcelona edges out Atleti to extend LaLiga lead
Barcelona recovered to secure a 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid as goals from Raphinha, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres handed the visitor its first LaLiga defeat since August and extended the champion's lead at the top after an intense clash at Camp Nou.
The result puts Barca on 37 points, four ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, which visits Athletic Club on Thursday.
Atleti, arriving at Camp Nou on a seven-game winning run in all competitions, remains in fourth place with 31 points.
Atleti struck first in the 19th minute through Alex Baena on the counter but Raphinha equalised seven minutes later with a close-range strike after a killer through pass from Pedri.
Barca's persistence paid off as Dani Olmo pounced on a loose ball inside the box and fired a low strike to score in the 65th minute and Torres wrapped up the points by finishing off another counter-attack deep in added time.
