Antoine Griezmann scored one of the season's goals as Atletico Madrid easily defeated Real Valladolid, who were at the bottom of the standings. In all competitions, Diego Simeone's club has won seven straight games, putting them two points ahead of champion Real Madrid.
After twenty-five minutes, Julian Alvarez added the second goal after Clement Lenglet had opened the score. Before halftime, Rodrigo de Paul scored the third goal, and just after the interval, Griezmann added the fourth with a spectacular move and finish that even some home supporters cheered. It was a great night for the Rojiblancos. In stoppage time, Alexander Sorloth completed Atletico's crushing win. The French forward exchanged passes with Alvarez before making a spectacular spin and delicately beating goalkeeper Karl Hein to score Griezmann's goal. Simeone's team scored 11 goals this week without a response as Atletico defeated Sparta Prague 6-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
