Atlético de Madrid risk losing top spot in LaLiga after Leganés defeat

Atlético de Madrid risk losing their LaLiga advantage after a 1-0 defeat at Leganés

Scorers: Nastasić 50′

Matija Nastasić put the hosts ahead just five minutes into the second half when the veteran defender headed in Dani Raba’s left-wing corner.

The Colchoneros were offered a lifeline in the final stages of the game when they were awarded a penalty only for Antonine Griezmann to hit wide of the spot.

Diego Simeone’s side could now be overtaken by local rivals Real Madrid, who sit a point behind at the summit as they prepare to entertain Las Palmas on Sunday
