Yesterday, Real Madrid briefly seized the top spot in La Liga with 53 points. However, Atlético Madrid swiftly responded, refusing to relinquish the lead.
In an away fixture against Rayo Vallecano, Atlético Madrid secured a resounding 4-2 victory.
Rayo Vallecano found the net twice:
- J. Viera scored in the 40th minute.
- J. Larrivey added another goal in the 76th minute.
Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid displayed their attacking prowess with four goals:
- D. Villa opened the scoring in the 8th minute.
- A. Turan found the back of the net twice, in the 30th and 44th minutes.
- Diego Costa capped off the scoring for Atlético Madrid with a goal in the 75th minute.
With this win, Atlético Madrid reclaimed the top spot in the league standings, now boasting 54 points. However, their position at the summit is precarious, as Barcelona has the opportunity to match their points tally if they win their upcoming match against Malaga later today.
