Atletico Madrid kept up the pressure on Liga leaders Real Madrid with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Espanyol on Saturday.

After los Blancos had battled to victory over Malaga earlier in the day, a solitary Diego Costa strike was enough for Diego Simeone's side to close the gap at the top of the table and put pressure on Barcelona ahead of their match on Sunday. --------------- goal.com
