Joao Felix marked his return from injury with a goal as Atletico Madrid secured a 3-1 home win over Villarreal on Sunday.
Match Report
Goals from Angel Correa and Koke turned the game in Atletico's favour at the Wanda Metropolitano, cancelling out Paco Alcacer's first-half opener for the visitors.
A satisfying outing for the hosts was rounded off by a goal from Joao Felix, who found the net just 17 minutes after coming on as a substitute.

16' GOAL! Atletico 0-1 Villarreal (Alcacer)
Villarreal lead out of nowhere, it's a brilliant strike from Alcacer! Gerard Moreno delivers a ball in from the right, and it's only half-cleared as far as Alcacer at the right edge of the D. He takes a touch to control it then hits it right-footed on the bounce, across goal and inside the far post. Superb finish.
29' Asenjo makes brilliant double-save
The corner is cleared but it comes back out to Vrsaljko on the right, and he loops the ball back in. Morata scissor-kicks a decent volley towards the bottom-left corner which is well saved by Asenjo, and he saves again as Correa can't apply the killer blow with a header on the rebound.
40' GOAL! Atletico 1-1 Villarreal (Correa)
Correa pulls Atletico level! Vrsaljko dangles a cross in behind from deep on the right, and Correa reacts superbly to latch onto it at the right corner of the six-yard box and touch it first-time under the onrushing Asenjo.
64' GOAL! Atletico 2-1 Villarreal (Koke)
Trippier finds a pocket of space on the right. He finds Correa in the area, and he clips a cross in to the edge of the six-yard box where Koke arrives to bury a powerful header.
74' GOAL! Atletico 3-1 Villarreal (Felix)
It's a howler from Asenjo, Joao Felix scores off the bench! Chukwueze loses possession just outside the area, and Koke flicks it on to the youngster. He shoots left-footed from the left side of the area, and a slight deflection helps it through the legs of the goalkeeper.

Nice win atletico👏👏. You guys have Liverpool very nervous now. Playing at Anfield will be a easy win for Atletico. Am really happy to see felix on the score sheet and am glad thag he is progressing. That is why I love La Liga, Because they have alot of potential players to be the best in their position.

If Simeone can allow ATM to play an attacking football, I believe Felix can score more goals than everyone will imagine; The guy is good but Simeone style of play is failling him.

Let me just say this... Felix is not overrated... People who watch him every game knows what he can do and how much he puts in for the team... Unfortunately I believe he's in the wrong team... Or at least needs time to settle into this one... So haters please don't extinguish the flame that is Felix through social media
