Luis Suarez's 88th-minute winner against Osasuna has left Atletico Madrid on the brink of clinching the LaLiga title for only the second time since 1996.
Diego Simeone's side were staring at a shock defeat after Ante Budimir headed the visitors in front with just 14 minutes remaining.
But substitute Renan Lodi netted for Atletico in the 82nd minute before Suarez's late decider.

Santi Mina shattered Barcelona's dwindling hopes of winning the title as his brace for Celta Vigo condemned Lionel Messi and company to a 2-1 defeat at
the Nou Camp.
Messi briefly dragged Barca to within two points of Atletico when he put his side ahead, but Santi's double created an insurmountable gap for Ronald Koeman's men.
The result means the Catalan club will finish outside the top two for the first time since 2008 as their Madrid rivals Real and Atletico are now out of reach.
