Atletico Madrid cruised to their 11th La Liga win of the
season by beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on Sunday.
Following Barcelona's 1-0 win over city rivals Espanyol
on Friday, Atletico needed a victory to move back to a point behind the
champions, and goals from strikers David Villa and Diego Costa were enough to
ensure their 11th success from 12 matches this term.
A positive result for Diego Simeone's men never looked in
doubt, as they dominated the game at the Vicente Calderon, registering 11 more
shots on goal than their visitors.
