🇪🇸 Getafe sucker punch Atleti and ruin Griezmann's historic night | OneFootball

Atlético de Madrid suffered yet another stumble as Getafe rallied to earn a point in the capital.

Scorers: Griezmann 44′, 69′ (P), Morata 63′; Mayoral 53′, 90+3′, Rodriguez 87′. Red: Savic 38′

After a shocking loss over the weekend, Diego Simeone’s men were once again frustrated as mistakes came back to haunt them in this six-goal thriller.

The match got off to a rocky start when Stefan Savic was sent off for a second yellow card before the break, making it an even tougher task for the hosts.

An in-form Antoine Griezmann put the hosts in front despite being a man down after beating two centrebacks and poking home a bobbling cross.

Coming out after the break, former Real Madrid man Borja Mayoral drew level after heading home a parried effort from Jan Oblak from range.

Alvaro Morata then turned things in Atleti’s favour with a thumping header before Griezmann scored from the penalty spot and cemented himself as a club legend. He now has 173 goals for Los Rojiblancos, tied for the most alongside Luis Aragonés.

Getafe, however, then fought back from 3-1 down to steal a point at the Wanda.

Oscar Rodriguez pulled one back when was left open at the top of the box, dribbled four defenders, and his deflected shot beat Oblak.

Mayoral then secured a brace with a penalty of his own at the death to hinder Griezmann’s celebratory night.

The result means Atleti sit third, level with fourth-place Barcelona and are nine off leaders Girona. Getafe, meanwhile, are eighth.
