Diego Costa broke his goalscoring drought

He had not scored for a long time, but he managed to put his poor run to an end at Son Moix thanks to a good cross from a corner. He did not even have to jump to head the ball towards goal. 

The header was precise and Manolo Reina could not prevent it going in. The Mallorca defence were not fully alert and the attacker headed home. 

It was also a psychological boost for the Spanish-Brazilian as he had struggled to perform recently. 

Atletico have lost one and drawn two of their last three games so a win against Mallorca is key. So far, so good.
