Trailing (1-0) at the hour mark, Atlético Madrid ended up overthrowing their neighbor Leganés this Sunday, October 20 (3-1) thanks to a goal from French striker Antoine Griezmann and a double from Norwegian Alexander Sorloth during the 10e La Liga day.
Scorer, Antoine Griezmann saw his red card transformed into yellow
Long sluggish and without ideas, Atlético (3e20 points) can thank “Grizou”, present in the area to cut off a cross from Giuliano Simeone a few minutes from time (2-1, 81′), before Sorloth scored twice at the end of added time ( 3-1, 90′) to complete an important success for the Colchoneros, three days before receiving Lille in the Champions League.
In a Metropolitano stadium behind closed doors for the throwing of projectiles which caused the interruption of the Madrid derby against Real (1-1), the rojiblanco club was surprised in the first half by conceding the opening of the score from former Saint-Etienne player Yvan Neyou (1-0, 34′), but ended up returning to the game in the second half thanks to a nice backheel from Sorloth (1-1, 69′).
Once again decisive, Antoine Griezmann, who recently announced his international retirement, thought he would be sent off for a poorly controlled tackle but the referee decided to transform his red card into a yellow card after viewing the video (89′).
