resounding 4-0 home win against Sevilla at the Estadio Vicente
on Saturday (27th September).

Atletico went ahead in the 19th minute, with midfielder Jorge "Koke" Resurreccion able to get his name on the scoresheet thanks to his deflected strike.
Saul Niguez was able to claim the second goal, just before of the break, following a precision set-piece that included three players touching the ball before he headed it in at the far post.
Inside the final ten minutes Raul Garcia converted a penalty after Diogo Rosario clearly fouled Antoine Griezmann.
With just one minute of normal time remaining striker Raul Jimenez added a fourth for Atletico, to cement an impressive win.
The Mexican bagging his first goal for the club after arriving from Club America in the summer.
The 4-0 win keeps Atletico two points behind early pacesetters Barcelona.
