Luis Suarez scored a double, as Atletico Madrid came back from a goal down to edge out a 2-1 victory against Eibar.

Eibar were awarded a penalty as early as the 12th minute, with their goalkeeper stepping up to take the penalty against his counterpart.

Marko Dmitrovic sent Jan Oblak the wrong way to give his side an early head-start.

Five minutes before the break, Atletico found the equalizer through Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan striker then completed his double after converting from the spot in the final minute to take all three points.

Diego Simeone’s men remain at the top of the Liga, with 44 points from 16 matches, while Eibar are 15th with only 19 points out of 19 fixtures.
