Conor Gallagher and Julian Alvarez fire Atletico Madrid to Valencia victory
Conor Gallagher and Julian Alvarez lead Atletico Madrid to a win over Valencia.
Atletico Madrid made a strong comeback in La Liga, achieving a convincing 3-0 victory at home against Valencia.
The Rojiblancos are still undefeated in league matches this season, and this marked their second 2-0 win at home, having not let any goals in during their three games played in Madrid.
They are maintaining an impressive performance that keeps them in the championship race, thanks in part to two of their new additions from the summer who played a crucial role.
Conor Gallagher had a fantastic start in front of his home crowd, making a smooth run into the penalty area and scoring his first goal in Spanish football with ease.
Antoine Griezmann found himself in the perfect position shortly after the game resumed, scoring a second goal for Atletico Madrid and allowing the team to take it easy as the match wound down.
Nevertheless, the home team experienced one last moment of joy during stoppage time when substitute Julian Alvarez remained alert in the penalty area to score his first goal for the club.
