Luis Suarez’s penalty sealed LaLiga leaders Atletico Madrid a 2-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao.

The ex-Barcelona striker helped Atletico build a six-point lead over his old club at the top of the table.

Suarez struck from the spot six minutes into the second half to seal Atletico’s second win in three matches.

In France, Michael Cuisance’s late finish earned Marseille a 1-0 win over Rennes that moved the hosts up to sixth place in Ligue 1.

Elsewhere, Josh Sargent and Kevin Mohwald hit the net to hand Werder Bremen a 2-0 win at Bundesliga strugglers Arminia.
