MADRID, March 1 (Reuters) - Real Madrid restored their five-point lead over Barcelona at the top of the Primera Liga on Saturday by winning 3-2 at Recreativo Huelva while the Catalans were thumped 4-2 away to Atletico Madrid.

Brazilian forward Robinho led Real to a comeback victory with two top-class strikes after coming on as a second-half substitute in a game that featured three red cards, two for Recreativo.

Atletico also fought back from a goal down, teenage striker Sergio Aguero leading the way with two goals and a clever assist.

Real lead the standings with 59 points from 26 games, Barca follow on 54 while Atletico remain in fourth spot with 44, two behind Villarreal who are at home to Osasuna on Sunday.

Espanyol moved up to fifth spot with 42 points after a double from striker Luis Garcia earned a 2-0 win at home to Valencia and their first points in four matches.

Sevilla slipped a place to sixth after losing 2-1 at relegation-threatened Deportivo Coruna.

Barca started well at the Calderon, Ronaldinho putting them in front with a spectacular overhead kick but the goal sparked an extraordinary rally from Atletico.
