Atletico Madrid climbed to second in La Liga, level on points with leaders Barcelona, by beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at Wanda Metropolitano.
Saul Niguez put the hosts ahead after 28 minutes before Alvaro Morata, on loan from Chelsea, converted Angel Correa’s cross inside the six-yard box.
It is Morata’s second goal this week after coming on as a substitute to fire Atletico to victory against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
The win is Atletico’s first for a month in the league after three consecutive draws.
They move from sixth to second, a point clear of third-placed Real Madrid.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have both played a game fewer and do not play this weekend because their El Clasico meeting was postponed.
