Griezmann finished smartly to give Atleti the lead

Atletico Madrid were finding it difficult to break through the Rayo Vallecano defence as the game headed in to its final third.

However, their star forward was on hand to put concerns about their attacking difficulties to rest.

A corner was swung in from the left hand side of the pitch, with defender Stefan Savic directing a header towards the goal.

Griezmann had his back to goal and was being marked by a defender, but was able to turn and volley the ball low in to the net to give the home team a much-needed goal.
