Atletico wins to pressure Barcelona at top of Spanish league

MADRID (AP) — Atletico Madrid defeated Granada 3-0 to go level on points with Barcelona atop the Spanish league, increasing pressure on Luis Enrique's team ahead of its match against Valencia later Sunday.

Jorge "Koke" Resurreccion opened the scoring in the 15th minute, Fernando Torres added to the lead in the 59th and Angel Correa sealed the victory in the 83rd at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.

Atletico's seventh win in eight league games put it alongside Barcelona on 76 points.

Real Madrid had moved closer on Saturday with an easy 5-1 win at last-place Getafe, getting to within one point of Barcelona, which is trying to snap a three-game winless streak in the league.
