Atletico Madrid defeated Almeria 2-0 on Sunday, securing their fifth win in a row in La Liga. The victory was the second consecutive match for Atletico to score two goals against Almeria, after they won 2-1 in their previous meeting.
The first goal came from Diego Costa, who scored his eighth goal of the season with a header in the 45th minute. However, it was the second half where Atletico really showed their class as they dominated possession and created numerous opportunities.
In the 68th minute, Antoine Griezmann found the back of the net with a clinical finish that gave Atletico the lead. The Frenchman had been in excellent form recently and this goal was just another example of his quality.
The third goal came from Lucas Digne, who scored the winner in the 77th minute. The Frenchman has been a key player for Atletico this season and he continued to impress on Sunday by scoring the decisive goal.
Overall, Atletico's performance was solid throughout the match and they were well worth their victory over Almeria. The win moves them up to fourth place in the league table, just one point behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. They will now look to continue their good form when they face off against Valencia next weekend.
