Saponjic, looking to kickstart his Atleti career, takes over from Morata.

GOOD EFFORT! Lemar shifts the ball onto his left foot and unleashes a low shot that Villar is equal to. That is the Celta goalkeeper's first touch of the ball!

Minute
Description
81'
Iván Villar enters the game and replaces Rubén Blanco.
Celta goalkeeper Blanco has picked up an injury and is unable to continue. Villar is introduced in his place.
79'
J. Giménez gets yellow.
Gimenez kicks Aspas in the face with his boot when attempting to win the ball. The referee is right to show the centre-back a yellow card.
78'
Play resumes at Balaidos following the second cooling break of the match. There is still plenty of time for one of these sides to find what would surely be a winning goal.
76'
Atletico are reluctant to shoot from range. Instead they work the crossing angle and Sanchez is flagged for offside towards the back post.
74'
Aspas refuses to give up on a straight pass over the top. Gimenez does enough to ensure that the ball rolls straight out of play for a goal-kick.
73'
T. Lemar enters the game and replaces Á. Correa.
Correa has been Atletico's liveliest player today but makes way for Lemar with a little over 15 minutes to go.
70'
Gimenez gives Blanco something to think about with a looping header. However, the Atletico defender went through the back of Yokuslu and a free-kick is awarded.
69'
Manu Sánchez enters the game and replaces Renan Lodi.
It is a triple substitution for Atletico as Sanchez comes on for Lodi in a like-for-like change at full-back.
68'
Vitolo enters the game and replaces Marcos Llorente.
H. Herrera enters the game and replaces T. Partey.
Thomas is replaced by Herrera as Simeone finally turns to his bench.
Llorente has been unable to continue his impressive form today. He is replaced by Vitolo with 22 minutes to go.
67'
Mina plays a delightful pass into the middle but it is just out of Aspas' reach. Atletico are holding on a little now.
66'
ANOTHER SAVE! Oblak is forced to palm behind Mina's powerful shot at his near post. Aspas played a nice reverse pass into the feet of Mina and the substitute nearly caught out Oblak.
64'
The game has gone a little flat over the last five minutes. Celta are showing more urgency than their opponents to find the third goal of a finely-poised match.
62'
Celta have come closest to scoring since Beltran made it 1-1 in spectacular style. Simeone is holding off from turning to his bench, which is depleted today due to the absence of Costa and Joao Felix.
60'
Rafinha enters the game and replaces Brais Méndez.
Mendez does not look too happy to be replaced before the hour mark. Rafinha is brought on in his place.
59'
Santi Mina enters the game and replaces F. Smolov.
Smolov is off and Mina on with around half an hour to play.
56'
Lodi is causing some danger down the left. His latest cross into the box is blocked, however, and ricochets back off him for a goal-kick.
55'
It is hard to tell if Beltran was looking to find the top corner with his first-time effort for Celta's equaliser. If he did - and there is no reason to doubt that is the case - then full credit to the midfielder. How will Atleti respond to that setback?
51'
J. Murillo gets yellow.
Murillo wipes out Morata and is shown a yellow card that will rule him out of Celta's next match.
49'
Fran Beltrán has scored a goal for Celta Vigo! Assist by Brais Méndez.
Mendez sent in a cross from the right and Beltran swung his boot at it. Did he mean to pick out the top-left corner? Let us give him the benefit of doubt!
GOOOOAAAALLL!!! CELTA 1-1 ATLETICO!! The visitors struck early in the first half and Celta have done likewise in the second. Beltran sends the ball spinning over Oblak with a pretty outrageous volley from 12 yards. He does not get the contact he would have liked, but he does enough to pick out the top-left corner - what a strike!
47'
Jorge Sáenz gets yellow.
Correa knocks the ball past Saenz and the Celta defender sticks out an arm to halt his opponent's run.
46'
RESTART! Atletico, who will move 11 points clear of fifth-placed Villarreal if it stays like this, get us back up and running at Balaidos.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: CELTA VIGO 0-1 ATLETICO MADRID
45' +1
Llorente cuts the ball back for Correa, but his team-mate is unable to adjust his feet in front of goal and a good opportunity goes begging.
45'
Two minutes have been added on at the end of the first half at Balaidos.
44'
Simeone will be concerned about the success Celta are having down their right. Mendez plays the ball down the line for Mallo, whose cross is turned behind at the front post.
42'
Atletico turn over possession high up the pitch. Thomas slots the ball through for Lodi, who tries and fails to pick out Llorente on the edge of the box with his cutback.
40'
CLOSE! Mendez, pretty much out of nowhere, bends a 20-yard shot just wide of the target. That is the closest Celta have come to scoring today.
38'
Koke sends the ball through for Correa. Before he can think about shooting, the referee brings play back for a foul by Llorente in midfield.
36'
Nolito gets yellow.
A member of the Celta bench - possibly head coach Garcia - is given a warning by the referee.
It was Celta substitute Nolito, and not head coach Garcia, who was cautioned by the referee.
35'
Savic misses Mallo's right-sided delivery. Olaza picks it up and sends in another cross, which Atletico this time deal with.
34'
Smolov is given a pass to chase down in behind - the first time today Celta have managed to do that. He holds the ball up but is given little support and the attack fizzles out.
32'
Correa's cross for Morata's early goal took a slight deflection, incidentally, so the Argentina international will not be credited with the assist. We are back underway at Balaidos following the short cooling break.
30'
With half an hour played, it is time for the first drinks break of the contest. Garcia and Simeone have a chance to pass on some instructions to their players.
29'
Correa is chasing down everything and is picking up a few second balls. Atletico are bored of sitting back and are now getting bodies forward in search of a second goal.
27'
Atletico twice turn down the chance to shoot from just outside the Celta penalty area and the hosts turn over possession. Simeone's men are having a lot of joy down their right-hand side, where the opening goal originated from.
25'
Atleti are happy to let Celta's three centre-backs advance into their half of the field. The home team are bossing possession but are a little too pedestrian, struggling to make any openings.
23'
Renan Lodi gets yellow.
Seconds after Mendez entered the referee's book, Lodi is booked for a challenge on Mallo - a very harsh decision.
22'
Brais Méndez gets yellow.
Mendez is shown a yellow card for a strong challenge on Arias.
21'
The home team are slowly starting to build some momentum, with their opponents seemingly happy to sit off and protect their lead. It is all very patient from Celta - perhaps a little too patient.
19'
CLOSE! Mendez looks to pick his spot with a shot from 25 yards. It deflects off Savic into the side-netting for a corner, which ultimately comes to little.
18'
Murillo directs a corner back towards goal but it is an Atleti head who gets to it first. This has been a good spell for the home side, who trail to Morata's strike inside the first minute.
16'
Mallo is being afforded plenty of space out wide. He sends another good delivery into the six-yard box, where Oblak is waiting uncontested to gather.
14'
A cross into the Atletico box is headed clear. Murillo shoots from a long way out, the effort ending well wide of the target.
12'
OVER! Correa's cross takes a couple of touches before landing at the feet of Savic. He tries to curl a first-time shot into the top corner but the attempt is a fair way off target.
10'
Morata tries to wriggle clear of a couple of players down the left but is unable to do so. Celta have had 77 per cent of the ball so far but they find themselves a goal down.
8'
Simeone's side are knocking the ball around under little pressure. Celta do eventually turn over possession, but Mallo's cross is cut out.
4'
Morata's goal has been timed at 52 seconds. It was a simple finish, but credit to the Atletico striker for getting into the right area to convert.
2'
As far as bad starts go, that is right up there for Celta! Thomas looks to add a second goal to Atleti's tally but his shot from range is blocked.
1'
Álvaro Morata has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid!
KICK-OFF! Celta, aiming to climb further clear of the relegation zone, get us up and running against one of the division's most in-form sides.
GOOOAAAALLLL!!! CELTA 0-1 ATLETICO!! The visitors open the scoring inside a minute at Balaidos! Aspas gives the ball away and Arias plays it inside to Correa, who crosses for Morata to convert five yards from goal.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the LaLiga meeting between Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid at Estadio de Balaidos.
Celta eased their relegation worries with back-to-back wins at the end of last month, but they have taken only two points from the last nine on offer and are not yet safe from the drop. Oscar Garcia's side are six points better off than 18th-placed Real Mallorca with four matches left to go.
Atletico have been in fantastic form since last month's restart, winning five and drawing two of their last seven matches. That unbeaten streak has moved Diego Simeone's men above Sevilla into third place, eight points better off than the chasing pack in the race for a top-four finish.
CELTA XI (3-5-2): Ruben Blanco; Joseph Aidoo, Jeison Murillo, Jorge Saenz; Hugo Mallo (c), Fran Beltran, Okay Yokuslu, Brais Mendez, Lucas Olaza; Iago Aspas, Fedor Smolov.
Subs: Juan Hernandez, Nolito, Rafinha, Pione Sisto, Jacobo Gonzalez, Gabriel Fernandez, Santi Mina, Ivan Villar, Filip Bradaric, Pape Cheikh, Jose Manuel Fontan, Kevin Vazquez.
ATLETICO XI (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Santiago Arias, Jose Gimenez, Stefan Savic, Renan Lodi; Saul Niguez, Thomas Partey, Koke (c), Marcos Llorente; Angel Correa, Alvaro Morata.
Subs: Toni Moya, Vitolo, Ivan Saponjic, Felipe, Ricard Sanchez, Hector Herrera, Thomas Lemar, Kieran Trippier, Rodrigo Riquelme, Manuel Sanchez, Sergio Camello, Antonio Adan.
The teams are coming out onto the pitch at Balaidos, with kick-off just moments away. This match will be played behind closed doors, as will every other LaLiga game for the foreseeable future.
Celta had 58 per cent of the ball in the first half but were unable to test Oblak. Garcia named a slightly weaker line-up today and has Rafinha and Nolito to call upon from the bench, while Simeone's back-ups include Lemar and Vitolo.
Simeone's side, who are now unbeaten in 13 league matches, return to action on Saturday with a home game against Real Betis. As for Celta, they will be looking to build on this well-deserved point when they travel to Osasuna the same day.
That's all for today's live coverage. Thanks for joining, goodbye!
