Correa scored his second goal of the season for Atletico Madrid

Angel Correa scored the winning goal as Atletico Madrid went third in La Liga by edging past Real Betis.

Diego Simeone's side, who last won the title in 2014, capitalised on Real Madrid's loss at Alaves to move above their city rivals in the table.

Substitute Correa stroked home low into the corner from the edge of the box following Thomas Partey's flicked pass.

Atletico had gone top momentarily on Sunday, but were pushed down to third after Sevilla beat Celta Vigo 2-1.

Barcelona's 1-1 draw at Valencia left them in second place.
