MADRID (Reuters) – A late goal from Angel Correa earned Atletico Madrid a fourth straight win as they beat Real Betis 1-0 on Sunday, extending their unbeaten streak in LaLiga to 11 games.
Diego Simeone’s side are third on 54 points, six ahead of Real Sociedad and five behind Real Madrid, close to securing Champions League football next season.
Correa came off the bench and scored the winner five minutes from the end with a brilliant run, leaving several defenders in his wake, to shoot from the middle of the box into the bottom
left corner for his sixth league goal of the season.
Atletico face Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, while Betis host relegation-threatened Cadiz.
