Video: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Deportivo [Nov-30-2014] [La Liga] Highlights

The pair struck just before and shortly after half-time to ensure Diego Simeone’s men cling to the coat-tails of their city rivals at the top of La Liga

Saul and Arda Turan both scored as Atletico Madrid saw off struggling Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 in Sunday’s morning kick-off in La Liga.

The action began on time despite violence between fans, which saw La Liga’s ruling body, the LFP, make unsuccessful attempts to postpone the game.

When the focus returned to the field, it was Atletico who made the better start as a good first-half performance ended with Saul heading home just before the break.

They grabbed a second 11 minutes after the resumption, Turan marking a fine performance by finding the net.

That proved enough for Atletico to secure the spoils, although many thoughts remained on the off-field troubles amid reports of a fan being hospitalised.

The added emphasis placed on attacking by Atletico this season was immediately in evidence as they produced fine flowing football during the opening exchanges.
