Diego Costa headed home seven minutes from time to give Atletico Madrid a 1-0 win away to AC Milan at the San Siro in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie on Wednesday.

Milan had the best chances in the first half, with former Real Madrid man Kaka striking the bar and then having a header brilliantly turned onto the post by Atletico goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Costa's goal was his 27th in all competitions this season, and his fifth in the Champions League.
