Suarez breaks Ronaldo record as stunning start at Atletico Madrid continues

Luis Suarez's excellent start to life at Atletico Madrid continued on Monday night as he broke a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo with his goals against Celta.

The Uruguay international struck on the stroke of half-time at the Wanda Metropolitano to pull Atletico level with the visitors, who went ahead through a Santi Mina goal just 13 minutes into the match.

The 34-year-old struck again early in the second half to give the home team the lead and put them on course to extend their lead at the top of La Liga.
