There was nothing spectacular about Atletico Madrid, but Diego Simeone's side got the job done at struggling Malaga.
Atletico Madrid climbed to third in LaLiga with a workmanlike 2-0 win over lowly Malaga at La Rosaleda on Saturday.
Diego Simeone's side made it four top-flight wins in a row as long-serving midfielder Koke netted in the first half and Filipe Luis added late gloss with a cool finish as Atletico moved a point clear of Sevilla.
Malaga, who face a crunch clash with Sporting Gijon on Wednesday, have not tasted victory since Michel took charge last month, with their winless run overall now stretching to six games.
