Football: Griezmann leads Atletico Liga lift-off

Author: Agencies

MADRID: Antoine Griezmann kickstarted Atletico Madrid’s La Liga campaign with two goals and an assist as a 4-0 rout at Celta Vigo gave them a much-needed boost on Saturday. It was a first win of the current La Liga season after they were held by promoted Alaves and Leganes in their opening two league games. And they were outplayed for the first-half in Vigo on Saturday too, as Josep Sense and Theo Bongonda missed great chances. But Atletico’s luck turned when Koke met Griezmann’s fine cross eight minutes into the second-half to give the visitors the lead before Euro 2016’s top scorer Griezmann headed home his first two goals of the season in the final 20 minutes. Angel Correa added a fourth two minutes from time.
