Atletico Madrid 2 Real Sociedad 0: Godin and Filipe Luis send Simeone's men top

Atletico Madrid moved top of the LaLiga table as defenders Diego Godin and Filipe Luis scored as a 2-0 home win over Real Sociedad.

Diego Godin and Filipe Luis were on target as Atletico Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano to move top of LaLiga.

Atletico bounced back from a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League with Godin and Filipe Luis scoring either side of half-time.

That loss was the heaviest of Diego Simeone's seven-year spell at Atletico, but his side have now taken 14 points from a possible 18 to climb to the summit.
