Luis Suarez scored two headers in the last 12 minutes to give Atletico Madrid a 2-1 win away to Getafe and take them momentarily to the top of La Liga.

The Uruguayan equalised for his side, who had struggled to create chances against bottom of the table Getafe, with a looping header from Mario Hermoso's 78th-minute cross and then won the game in the first minute of injury time after a looped cross from the right-wing.
