Atletico go seven points clear at the top with two games in hand after a very well deserved win. An evenly-contested first half sparked into life when Racic curled a stunning shot into the top corner from range, but the hosts equalised as Joao Felix volleyed home from a corner at the back post. Atletico took control of the game in the second half and took the lead through a top-drawer finish from Suarez, before Correa slid home to make the game safe with 20 minutes to play.
Given Real Madrid and Barcelona's various struggles this season, it's difficult to see exactly who is going to stop Atletico from winning the title. This was a polished, professional performance with plenty of hard work, organisation and individual quality - albeit against a Valencia side who stay 14th in the table.
