By AFP More by this AuthorMADRIDDiego Costa scored his first goal since October but Atletico Madrid missed the chance to move into La Liga's top four by drawing 1-1 away at Athletic Bilbao on Sunday. Costa celebrated by holding up the shirt of Virgina Torrecilla, a player from Atletico's women's team, who underwent surgery on a brain tumour last month. Diego Simeone's side stay sixth, now level on points with both Getafe and Real Sociedad in front of them, although la Real have a game in hand against Osasuna to come later on Sunday. But Atletico's run-in appears kind, with a visit to Camp Nou the only troublesome-looking fixture before they play Real Sociedad at home on the final day. Alvaro Morata replaced Costa as one of 10 changes made by both coaches but the best chance fell to Atletico's right back Arias, also on off the bench.
