Torres header sets Atletico on course for victory

Atletico Madrid's Torres celebrates after scoring a goal against Getafe during their Spanish first division soccer match in Madrid By Tim Hanlon BARCELONA (Reuters) - A bullet header from Fernando Torres set up depleted Atletico Madrid for a 2-0 victory over Getafe on Saturday as the champions boosted their hopes of finishing third in La Liga. Torres powered home a Koke free kick after three minutes to claim his first league goal since returning to his boyhood club in the January transfer window from AC Milan. The Spaniard arrived low on confidence following disappointing spells at Chelsea and the Serie A side, and while he has so far proved a useful reinforcement, Atletico coach Diego Simeone feels he has more to give. He is working hard and has a positive rivalry with (Mario) Mandzukic." Koke also played a part in the second goal before halftime when another free kick was flicked on by Raul Jimenez and Tiago nodded the ball in.
