Barcelona got a tough away win against Atletico Madrid in order to go three points clear at the top of the La Liga table, with Real Madrid losing against Villarreal this weekend.

The clash was a real battle at the Estadio Metropolitano as Ousmane Dembele’s early goal eventually clinched a win for Xavi’s side in Madrid.

Atletico did have chances after the interval, as Stefan Savic and Ferran Torres were sent off for an off the ball tussle, before Ronald Araujo produced an incredible clearance to deny Antoine Griezmann in added time.
