Fernando Torres grabbed the winner as Atletico Madrid kept up the pressure on La Liga leaders Barcelona with a win at Athletic Bilbao.
Torres struck with a first-half header, scoring for the fifth game in succession as Atletico registered a fourth straight league win.
The victory kept the visitors level on points with Barca, who thrashed Deportivo La Coruna 8-0.
