In recent months Atletico Madrid's charge to the top of La Liga has been all about Luis Suarez, the one Barcelona allowed to get away. Today it was about the player Real Madrid decided to sell, Marcos Llorente.
He got the first for Diego Simeone's side as they struggled to break down Granada. Suarez had their best chances but for the first time this season the former Barça striker was unable to turn everything he touched to gold and it was left to Llorente to put Atletico ahead.
Manchester City loanee Yangel Herrera levelled for the home side but Angel Correa got the winner to keep Atletico eight points clear at the top with a game in hand.
