Atletico Madrid recovered from two goals down to beat Eibar 3-2 at the Wanda Metropolitano and go top of LaLiga with three wins from three.
Match Report
The home side looked set to drop points in Sunday's match after conceding twice inside the opening 20 minutes of a home league game under Diego Simeone for the first time, with Charles and Anaitz Arbilla defying the form book at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Joao Felix scored his first LaLiga goal to start the comeback before the half-hour and Vitolo, introduced at the interval, dragged his side back onto level terms early in the second half against an Eibar side still without a win this season.
Match Events
7' GOAL! Atletico 0-1 Eibar (Dias)
The away side hit Atletico on the break brilliantly there! Leon began the move by driving at the home side's backline, before slipping Orellana in behind, who simply clipped a cross in for the unmarked Charles to power past Oblak!
19' GOAL! Atletico 0-2 Eibar (Arbilla)
What a stroke of fortune for Eibar! Another Orellana cross is hacked clear, but only as far as Arbilla who leathers a savage shot at goal: it looks relatively straightforward for Oblak, but it takes a deflection off Giminez and into the roof of the net! Oblak stood no chance after that deviation took the shot away from his grasp!
27' GOAL! Atletico 1-2 Eibar (Felix)
Costa and Felix play a delightful one-two that sets the former clean through on goal. He muscles off his pursuer before squaring the ball past Dmitrovic and into the path of Felix who slots the ball calmly into an empty net!
52' GOAL! Atletico 2-2 Eibar (Vitolo)
Immediate impact for Vitolo! Lodi makes another enterprising run, and this time his pass is perfect for Vitolo, who races beyond the final Eibar defender and pokes a weak shot just beyond the onrushing Dmitrovic!
90' GOAL! Atletico 3-2 Eibar (Partey)
A clever one-two between Costa and Partey bobbles through to the latter 12 yards out, and he dribbles past the final defender before poking past Dmitrovic from close range.

This is the new Atletico. It can Get Shaky in defense. But When it comes to attack..They can give it all ! Great performance from the team except some players like Llorente, Hermoso ..But they have time to improve! superb game from super sub vitolo and Partey ! also costa was very good! even trippier with his crosses...Overall great game but with a warning for defense and a praise for attack ! lets goooo!

Eibar proved they were nothing but a midtable team when they couldn’t prevent a goal in the last 4 minutes. Letting a defensive team like Atletico score on you, especially Partey who is a defensive mid. Shame shame shame. Hopefully they get demoted or something.
