Villarreal 0-2 Atletico Madrid: Joao Felix strike and Alfonso Pedraza own-goal ensure Diego Simeone's side get back to winning ways and extend LaLiga lead to five points

Atletico Madrid stopped their slump with a bounce-back victory over Villarreal on Saturday, move five points clear of Barcelona at the top once more.

Defeats to Levante and Chelsea in their last two matches had rocked the LaLiga leaders' form, allowing Barca to move within two points before kick-off.

Atleti weren't at their best but were handed the lead when Thomas Lemar's cross was deflected in by Alfonso Pedraza, before Joao Felix sealed the victory with a powerful low drive.
