Atletico Madrid whip Girona to go third in LaLiga

Atletico Madrid climbed to third in LaLiga with a 3-0 win at Girona on Sunday.

Atletico moved above Villarreal, fourth, who host leaders Barcelona later on Sunday.

A brilliant strike from distance from Koke, Conor Gallagher’s deflected effort, and a late third from Antoine Griezmann pulled Diego Simeone’s side within six points of Barcelona.

Atletico secured a fourth consecutive win across all competitions on a relatively simple afternoon at Girona’s modest Montilivi stadium.

Koke said: “I’m proud of the work we did today.

“The team is taking a step forward and doing the things we need to do.”

Marcos Llorente was a welcome return to the Atletico starting line-up after injury, and Simeone’s team never looked likely to slip up against the team in 18th.
