Diego Simeone’s team had been dominating the match throughout but was left humiliated at the last moment after conceding two goals back to back to Valencia. Colchoneros gave away the two-point in the end after they saw off Kieran Trippier with a serious shoulder problem. Atlético might be without first-choice right-wing-back for a while and Marcos Llorente’s injury worsens the odds for Atlético.
Rodrigo De Paul performed well at midfield, dictating the tempo and creating multiple chances. Luis Suárez was the first one to break the deadlock putting a goal past Mouctar Diakhaby with ease. Around half-time Gonçalo Guedes leveled the score until Antoine Griezmann fired a shot at the top corner and visitors got a good lead with Šime Vrsaljko’s first goal in LaLiga. Atlético celebrated their win a little early as Valencia then picked up the pace to drill home twice in four minutes.
