Sørloth double sees Atlético Madrid beat Leganes

Leagues
Alexander Sørloth’s brace gave Atlético Madrid their first win in four games.

Atlético Madrid forward Alexander Sørloth scored twice in the second half as they fought back to earn a 3-1 victory against visitors Leganes in LaLiga on Sunday.

Winless in their previous three games in all competitions with a series of lacklustre performances, Atlético had to recover from a goal down after Cameroon midfielder Yvan Neyou gave Leganes the lead in the 34th minute with a superb strike into the top corner.

Sørloth equalised with a cheeky back-heel in the 69th minute before Antoine Griezmann cleverly chipped a cross past the goalkeeper into the back of the net 11 minutes later, with Sørloth wrapping up the win with a close-range strike from a rebound deep in added time.

Atlético climbed to third in the standings on 20 points, four behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, who have a game in hand and will host Sevilla later on Sunday.
