Second-half strikes from Koke and Diego Costa gave Diego Simeone's men their sixth away league win of the season.

Koke broke the deadlock just after the hour mark, slotting home a rebound after goalkeeper Manuel Herrera had failed to hold onto an effort from substitute Raul Garcia.

While Atletico's opener was the result of a mistake, their second goal came about courtesy of a moment of magic from Adrian, who produced a stunning pass to assist Costa's 18th goal in 17 games.

Atletico are now unbeaten in nine games in all competitions.
