Alexander Sorloth (in pic) came off the bench to score with a header late in the second half and give Atletico Madrid a hard-fought 1-0 win over Getafe in LaLiga on Sunday, their 11th consecutive triumph in all competitions.
Atletico are now level with Barcelona at the top of the LaLiga standings on 38 points from 17 matches, moving above Real Madrid who are third on 37. Barcelona host lowly Leganes later on Sunday.
Atletico, who have won all their games since late October, dominated proceedings throughout and created several opportunities but had to dig deep to break the deadlock, with their winner coming in a collaboration between two substitutes in the 69th minute.
Fullback Nahuel Molina lifted a long cross from the right touchline which found the unmarked Sorloth whose header at the far post beat goalkeeper David Soria.
After constantly rotating his selection and trying different formations over the first few months of the season, Atletico manager Diego Simeone seems to have finally found the starting line-up he is most comfortable with.
