Diego Costa watched on as his new club Atletico Madrid beat Sevilla 2-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano in La Liga on Saturday.

Costa, who finally secured a return from Chelsea on Thursday, cannot take the field until January, but he could at least revel in the club's form as they secured a third straight league win.

Yannick Carrasco set Atletico en-route to victory, breaking the deadlock after a goalless first half.

Carrasco rounded Sergio Rico and tucked in to hand the hosts the advantage, before Antoine Griezmann doubled the lead.

The France international was played in by Filipe Luis before firing across Rico to settle the argument and leave Atletico with two wins from two in their new stadium.

Diego Rolan's late strike scrambled 10-man Malaga a 3-3 draw with Athletic Bilbao.

Athletic led 3-1 after 70 minutes thanks to Inaki Williams' brace and a fourth-minute penalty from Aritz Aduriz.
