Atletico Madrid have defeated PSV Eindhoven 2-0 at the Vicente Calderon to make certain of top spot in Champions League Group D.

The Rojiblancos needed to better Bayern Munich's result against minnows Rostov this evening, which they more than did as the German giants slipped to a shock 3-2 loss in Russia.

That earlier result gave Diego Simeone's men the perfect motivation to put their 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid four days ago behind them, securing the win required on home soil against PSV thanks to two second-half goals.

Kevin Gameiro came close to opening the scoring inside 10 minutes following a fine cross from Yannick Carrasco, but it was a largely sluggish first-half display from the hosts.

Jeroen Zoet kept out a rare shot on target when denying Diego Godin's header, while up the other end Jan Oblak had to be alert to prevent PSV opening the scoring on the counter.

Atletico, who remain on track to become the first team since rivals Real two years ago to win all six group-stage fixtures, had the better of things over the next 45 minutes to secure a comfortable win.

Gameiro scored the key breakthrough goal 10 minutes after the restart with a well-struck shot across Zoet and into the far corner, before Antoine Griezmann was played clean through and calmly slotted home.

There was almost time for a third in the remainder, only for Gameiro's shot to come back off the upright as Atleti were restricted to just the two goals, but it matters little as they will finish at the top of the pile regardless of the result when they face Bayern next month.

PSV, without an away win in 10 now in this competition, face a real tussle with Rostov to claim a place in the Europa League when those two sides lock horns in a fortnight's time.
