VIGO, Spain: Luis Suarez and Yannick Carrasco scored early and late in the game to help Atletico Madrid to a 2-0 La Liga victory at Celta Vigo on Saturday, bringing Diego Simeone’s side back on the way to victory after two successive draws
Uruguayan Suarez scored in the sixth minute with a first arrival in the box after a sweeping motion to the left wing, scoring his third goal in four games since changing from Barcelona
Celta responded well and could have equalized with a shot from full-back Sergio Carreira coming off the post as Suarez should have added a second early in the second half when he crashed into goal but failed to keep his cool
The hosts continued to disrupt Atletico until Carrasco sealed the points deep in extra time, heading for the net on the rebound after a sustained effort from Joao Felix came off the crossbar (Report by Richard Martin, edited by Ed Osmond)
