Barcelona move clear at the top after Fermín López’s double stuns Atlético Madrid

Barcelona defeated Atlético Madrid 2-1 at the Metropolitano stadium to move clear at the top of La Liga. Fermín López scored twice, either side of half-time, to overturn a deficit caused by Giuliano Simeone's opener for the hosts. The victory came just a fortnight after Barcelona had suffered defeats to both Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, making it a significant result for Hansi Flick's side.
