BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -Ten-man Atletico Madrid stayed in the chase for the Spanish league lead by beating Granada 1-0 thanks to Arda Turan's second-half goal on Sunday.

With Atletico striker Radamel Falcao without a goal for the third straight game, Turan stepped up in the 61st minute to ensure the hard-earned win for Simeone Diego's team that keeps it three points behind pacesetter Barcelona.

The Turkey midfielder volleyed in from substitute Jorge "Koke" Resurrecion's cross after Diego Costa had started the move that succeeded in unlocking Granada's defense.

Levante moved up to fourth spot and into the Champions League places after winning 2-0 at Deportivo La Coruna in an eventful match in which both teams finished with 10 men.
