Atlético Madrid are up to second in the table pending Sunday’s games after they won 0-2 at Eibar on Saturday evening. The Basque side held their own throughout the first half, Riesgo having few problems keeping out Vietto, Jackson Martínez and Griezmann, and Oblak having to save in particular from Saúl Berjón either side of half time. Simeone though changed his plans at the break, bringing on Oliver and Fernando Torres, and with an hour on the clock he replaced Koke with Angel Correa. That did the trick, and a minute later Oliver sent his namesake Fernando through for him to set up Correa for the opener. Oliver fired a shot just wide soon afterwards, and with a quarter of an hour to go Oliver and Correa combined to set up Fernando Torres to score a goal which was reminiscent of the one he netted for Spain against Germany to win the 2008 European championships. El Niño is back!
