Atletico Madrid moved into the top half of La Liga with a 3-2 victory over Levante this evening.
Gregorio Manzano's side created the better of the chances during the opening 45 minutes, but they were unable to find the back of the net.
The introduction of former Arsenal attacker Jose Reyes proved beneficial for Atletico, as with his very first touch he passed to Pizzi, who broke the deadlock on 68 minutes.
However, just two minutes later Xavi Torres fired Levante level from close range.
The away side would only be level for two minutes though, because in their very next attack Adrian slid the ball into the net from six yards out to restore Atletico's lead.
Brazilian midfielder Diego extended Atletico's advantage in the 83rd minute, and despite Ruben reducing the arrears in stoppage time, the hosts held on to claim all three points.
