Atletico Madrid remain La Liga’s only undefeated team in 2020/21 after claiming a 3-1 win at Osasuna
The victory puts Diego Simeone’s team in third place in the table, behind Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, despite neither Diego Costa nor Luis Suarez at El Sadar
Costa is still a week away from returning from injury and Simeone has chosen to rest Suarez for the trip to Pamplona
However, Portugal international Joao Felix has proven to be more than capable of leading Atletico’s attack with one goal either side of the break
But Simeone’s side took the lead just before the break as Felix converted after Herrera knocked Vitolo into the box
The former Benfica star had the perfect opportunity to repeat his turn right after the restart, as Oier Sanjurjo made do in the box, but his firm effort hit the post

Atletico declined to be deterred in their three-point push, with Herrera once again called to action to save Angel Correa and Kieran Trippier
The pressure from the outside finally paid off when Felix shot home a spectacular second in the 70th minute
Osausuna woke up in the finals with Ante Budimir nodding at home, but Lucas Torreira netted his first Atletico Madrid goal with three minutes, to claim the victory
