Unconvincing debut for Morata as Atletico beaten by Betis

MADRID (AP) — Alvaro Morata had an unconvincing debut as Atletico Madrid lost 1-0 at Real Betis on Sunday to miss its chance to move closer to Spanish league leader Barcelona.
Atletico could have gone within three points of Barcelona — after the Catalan club was held by Valencia to a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou Stadium on Saturday — but conceded a second-half penalty kick and lost for the first time in 19 league matches.
Atletico now trails Barcelona by six points after 22 matches.
