Thomas Partey came off the bench to fire Atletico Madrid to a 1-0 win over struggling Levante and take Diego Simeone’s side two points clear at the top of La Liga.
The Ghanaian midfielder scored a scrappy winner with nine minutes remaining to ensure his side took advantage of Barcelona’s goalless draw at Espanyol, although the reigning champions have a game in hand.
The Vicente Calderon erupted in joy when the 22-year-old poked the ball home, helped by some weak goalkeeping by Levante’s Diego Marino, as it looked as if Atletico were about to blow another opportunity to gain ground on Barcelona, having lost 1-0 to Malaga before the Christmas break while Barca were at the Club World Cup.
