Suárez ensured that Atlético returned to the top of the table, a day after Real Madrid became leader
A goal in the 90th minute from former Barcelona forward Luis Suárez gave Atlético de Madrid a 2-1 victory at Alavés on their return to the top of La Liga.
The 33-year-old, who joined Atlético in September, launched from very close.
He had previously fired a deflected shot from Marcos Llorente to put Atlético ahead shortly before the break.
Alavés had Víctor Laguardia sent off in the second half, but tied with an own goal by Felipe, before Suárez grabbed to replace Joao Félix’s center.
Despite Laguardia’s dismissal, Alavés had a flurry of late chances and drew in the 84th minute when Felipe deflected a Joselu cross into his own net.
But Atlético, who last won the title in 2014, took the victory when Suárez scored his ninth goal of the season.
Having started 2021 at the top of the table, they had briefly given up first place on Saturday as Real Madrid beat Celta de Vigo, now they lead city rivals Real again by two points, with two games left. hand.
