Summary: 17th round goals in the Premier League (Sport 1)

Not quiet at Atletico Madrid.

Striker Luis Suarez was furious last night (Saturday) after being substituted in the 57th minute of the 2-1 loss to Sevilla and hissed a curse that was apparently aimed at Diego Simeone.

To the chagrin of the veteran Uruguayan, the TV cameras caught him in the act and so he jumped into the high headlines of the morning sports sites.

Suarez returned to Simeone's squad after two games in which he was included as a substitute, but vacated his place in the 57th minute and hissed "Pelotudo", in free translation: "idiot" or "dumb".

Immediately afterwards he said: "Every time the same thing."

After sitting down on the bench, he also tossed his shoes angrily.

The 34-year-old Uruguayan has not scored in the last seven games in all competitions and this is his longest drought since arriving in Spain in the summer of 2014.

If Suarez's anger is not enough, Atletico broke a negative record yesterday: For the first time since Diego Simeone arrived, it has lost three consecutive league games.

There will no longer be a second consecutive championship, but now the Colchoneros need to get back to themselves quickly to finish in 2-4 places and get a ticket to the Champions League.

"We are experiencing difficulty, these are not the results we want," Simeone said at the end, "however, we must continue to work hard, bring back players from injuries and gain confidence in our ability to come back to ourselves.
