Atlético Madrid dominates Levante in LaLiga, thanks to a brace from

Antoine Griezmann is becoming a real "super-killer"! After scoring the final goal in Atlético Madrid's triumph against Real Madrid (5-2, September 27) and another against Sevilla FC (3-0) last Saturday, the former France international, who entered the field a little earlier than in those two matches, in the 61st minute, scored two goals against Levante (3-1) on Saturday.

With a goal just seconds after entering the field and another in the 80th minute, each time displaying his characteristic opportunism as a true center forward, Atlético Madrid secured a 3-1 victory, temporarily climbing to third place in La Liga, pending other results, especially Villarreal's match (fourth, two points behind) against Espanyol Barcelona on Saturday evening.

Earlier, in a match that they undoubtedly dominated, but which was rather dull despite some brilliant sparks, Atlético had opened the scoring somewhat by chance with an own goal from Adrian De La Fuente, following a cross from Pablo Barrios (12').

But Diego Simeone's men also conceded an equalizer quite quickly, with Manu Sanchez scoring with a header after a corner kick from Jon Ander Olasagasti (22'), due to extremely poor control.

But a rampant Griezmann, perfectly organised by Marcos Llorente for his first goal (61st minute, with his first touch) and then a sliding tackle for his second (again with his beloved left foot) after a move he initiated and a deflected shot by Julian Alvarez (80'), made all the difference.

"Grizzi", Atlético's all-time top scorer with 203 goals, has thus scored 4 this season (3 in La Liga and 1 in the Champions League, the only one he scored as a starter).
