In the 26th minute Lookman doubled the lead with a well drilled low shot which beat the Sevilla keeper at his near post.
Then in the 33rd minute Baena got his second goal of the game to extend the lead to 3-0.
Look thought he had made it 4-0 but his effort was overturned for offside.
But in the 66th minute Angel Sierra was on target to bring the scoreline to 3-1.
all efforts by Sevilla to claw their way back into the game was futile as Atletico held on to record their second league win (one draw).
