(Reuters) – Angel Correa’s strike from a counter-attack in stoppage time gave Atletico Madrid a hard-fought 1-0 LaLiga victory at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.
In an entertaining game in which both teams struggled to find the clinical edge despite plenty of attacking quality on show, the visitors finally broke the deadlock two minutes into added time.
Atletico forward Alexander Sorloth stole the ball from defender Inigo Lekue on the halfway line and set up substitute Correa who took it past the goalkeeper before tapping into the empty net.
Atletico climbed to second in the standings on eight points, four behind leaders Barcelona.
