Simeone praises Costa, Koke after victory at Bilbao


MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid's success this season is down to the consistency of the team as a whole but if any two players have stood out from the rest they are Spain internationals Diego Costa and Koke.

Atletico maintained their one-point lead over champions Barcelona at the top of La Liga on Saturday after Koke sent Costa through to level at 1-1 in the 22nd minute at Athletic Bilbao before nodding home the winner 10 minutes after halftime.
