Atletico see off Huesca to stay in control of La Liga title race

MADRID: Atletico Madrid stayed in control of La Liga's title race by beating struggling Huesca 2-0 at home on Thursday with goals in each half by Angel Correa and Yannick Carrasco.

Atletico top the standings on 73 points after 32 games, moving three clear of Real Madrid who beat Cadiz 3-0 on Wednesday. Huesca are 18th on 27. They trounced basement club Eibar 5-0 but this was a sterner test and they almost fell behind in the third minute, when keeper Jan Oblak miraculously repelled a shot from Huesca defender Dimitris Siovas from point-blank range.Visiting keeper Alvaro Fernandez made an outstanding double save at the other end, thwarting Carrasco and blocking a second shot from Saul Niguez with his face.

Barely a minute later, Atletico countered and a botched clearance allowed Llorente to grab the ball and find Carrasco to make the game safe.
