Atletico Madrid built on their Madrid derby triumph by comfortably beating Real Sociedad 3-0 at the Vicente Calderon to record their biggest home league win of the season.
Diego Simeone's side took an eighth-minute lead through Diego Reyes'
own goal, then Saul Niguez put them further at ease by volleying home a
minute into the second half.
Former Sociedad forward Antoine Griezmann added the third from the
penalty spot, converting for the first time from 12 yards in the Primera
Division.
The Rojiblancos consolidate second place thanks to their
second straight league win, moving five points behind Barcelona who play
on Thursday, while La Real suffered a first defeat in six matches.
Despite playing a fourth game in just 10 days, Simeone made just one
change from the team that won 1-0 at neighbours Real Madrid on Saturday,
bringing in Luciano Vietto for Fernando Torres.
His opposite number Eusebio Sacristan made six changes from the team that drew 1-1 with Malaga.
Las Palmas boosted their bid to avoid relegation by thrashing fellow strugglers Getafe 4-0.
An early strike from Willian Jose and a penalty from top-scorer
Jonathan Viera put them in charge at half-time, and a double from
midfielder Tana after the break set up the hosts' biggest victory of the
season.
While Getafe were unlucky to lose 1-0 to Celta last weekend, they
were well beaten at the Estadio Gran Canaria and had debutant Alvaro
Pereira sent off midway through the second half.
