ATLETICO MADRID WERE dealt a blow in their Liga title defence as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Celta Vigo.
In a game dominated by Celta, Diego Simeone’s men struggled to hit the heights of last weekend’s 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid and will be particularly unhappy with the award of the penalty converted by Nolito.
Augusto Fernandez clearly handled the ball in the build-up, but the referee played on and Nolito was brought down before getting up to convert the spot-kick himself.
Atleti, who defeated Real Madrid 4-0 last weekend, now sit third in the table and trail city rivals by seven points.
