Valencia moved temporarily back to the top of the table pending Barcelona’s game later in the evening after a 3-1 win over Atlético Madrid on Saturday afternoon. The Ches raced in to a three goal lead with less than a quarter of an hour gone, Miranda failing to communicate with Moyà and heading a long Mustafi centre his own net to open the scoring in the sixth minute. Just a minute later André Gomes ran on to Alcácer’s back-heel pass to leave three players for dead before turning a shot past the keeper, and soon afterwards Otamendi powered in to head a Piatti corner in to the net. Atleti finally got their act together, and Mandzukic headed one back after Diego Alves could only push out a long shot from Tiago. A few minutes later Barragán was lucky to be let off a penalty for hands, but with the first half coming to a close the visitors were awarded a spot kick after the ball hit Gayà on the arm. However Alves guessed correctly to save Siqueira’s shot, and the keeper made an important save from Mandzukic early in the second half. Simeone brought on Cerci, but although the Italian international thought he had scored, the referee ruled out the strike as he considered that he had controlled the ball with his upper arm, sending him off as well for a second bookable offence. A big defeat for Atleti, and their epic midweek victory over Juventus appears to have taken its toll.
