Atletico Madrid 1-0 Levante: Marino blunder sends Simeone's men top

A late error from Diego Marino proved enough for Atletico Madrid to go top of La Liga with a 1-0 win over Levante on Saturday.

Atletico Madrid went two points clear at the top of La Liga as a blunder from Levante goalkeeper Diego Marino gave Diego Simeone's side a 1-0 win on Saturday.

Defending champion Barcelona's 0-0 draw at Espanyol earlier in the day afforded Atletico the chance to gain a slender lead at the summit.

Fortune was not on Atletico's side for much of the encounter despite the capital city club dominating at the Vicente Calderon.
