MADRID, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid cruised to a 3-0 victory over relegation-threatened Mallorca on Sunday, with Alexander Sorloth, an own goal by David Lopez and a strike from substitute Thiago Almada ensuring Diego Simeone's side leapfrogged Villarreal into third place in the LaLiga standings.
Atletico moved on to 44 points, three ahead of Villarreal, who suffered a 2-0 defeat by Real Madrid on Saturday.
