Fernando Torres' deft overhead effort set the table for an attack-minded affair, with Sky Blues striker John Guidetti handing the Galician visitor a lead 12 minutes from time, only for Atletico to nick a late pair for its first league win since besting Real Betis on Jan. 14.
With the win, Diego Simeone and Co. keep their narrow La Liga title hopes alive, vaulting Real Sociedad for fourth place on 42 points, seven adrift of Real Madrid, who hold two games in hand on its capital rival.
