Atletico back to winning ways with 2-1 victory at Sevilla

Eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 16 on penalties by old rivals Real Madrid and knocked out of the Copa del Rey in the semi-finals by Barcelona, Atletico kept their slim hopes of claiming the LaLiga title alive after leaders Barca and Real both dropped points on Saturday.

Diego Simeone's Atletico moved on to 60 points, three behind Real who slumped to a 2-1 home defeat by Valencia while Barca were held 1-1 by Betis and are comfortable at the top on 67 points with eight games left. Sevilla are 11th on 36 points.
