Barcelona extend lead at top of La Liga with 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid

Barcelona produced an impressive comeback to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 and move four points clear at the top of La Liga, Reuters reported. 

Alex Baena fired Atletico ahead on Tuesday, but Raphinha equalised for the champions before Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres slotted home to end the visitors’ run of 13 straight league games without defeat.

Barca might have been more comfortable had Robert Lewandowski not ballooned a first-half penalty over the bar, according to Reuters.
