Barcelona: Diego Costa scored his Spanish league-leading ninth and 10th goals of the season to give Atletico Madrid a 2-1 win over Celta Vigo on Sunday, extending its club record with an eighth win in as many games to start the season.
The victory at its Vicente Calderon Stadium kept Atletico level on points with Barcelona at the top of the table and five points ahead of Real Madrid after both rivals won on Saturday.
Costa made up for a missed penalty by tapping in Filipe Luis' cross three minutes before halftime before adding another goal with an individual effort in the 62nd.
The Brazilian-born forward and Spain coach Vicente del Bosque spoke this week about him joining the world champions.
Celta forward Manuel "Nolito" Agudo halved the deficit in the 71st.
