Atletico Madrid are back to the summit of La Liga with a victory over Huesca after announcing their withdrawal from the European Super League.

Real Madrid had leapfrogged Atletico at the top after a 3-0 win over Cadiz on Wednesday.

But on Thursday, goals by Angel Correa and Yannick Carrasco earned Atletico a crucial win over relegation-threatened Huesca.

Atletico had announced their withdrawal from the European Super League, apologising to the fans for causing "confusion".

Diego Simeone's side are hunting for a first La Liga title since 2014 but still have to visit title rivals Barcelona on May 8.

Huesca are one point from safety, 18th in the table with six matches left in the season.

Argentina forward Correa scored his third goal in two games to give Atletico the lead before Carrasco added the second with Marcos Llorente assisting both goals.
