Julian Alvarez's strike helped Atletico Madrid move top of La Liga with 1-0 win over Osasuna on Sunday. Diego Simeone's side climbed one point clear of champions Real Madrid and six ahead of third-placed Barcelona at the halfway mark in the Spanish league season. Atletico claimed a 14th consecutive victory across all competitions, a new club record, and have lost just one top-flight game all season. It was their eighth straight league win and a fifth clean sheet from those matches, with Simeone's side back to their miserly best in defence. Atletico started well against an Osasuna side with several regular starters left on the bench, including their top scorer, striker Ante Budimir.
