Atletico
Madrid moved level on points with Barcelona at the top of La Liga after
Fernando Torres' 100th goal for the club sealed a 3-1 win over Eibar at the
Vicente Calderon.
Substitute Torres had been one strike away from the milestone
ever since netting against Eibar in the reverse fixture back in September, but
his search for the elusive century goal finally came to an end with a strike in
second-half stoppage-time. This rounded a solid comeback win for Diego Simeone’s
title chasers, who ended their match winless run in all competitions.
Early in
the second half, a slip from makeshift centre-back Saul had enabled Keko to
open the scoring for the visitors, but Jose Maria Gimenez headed in at the near
post in the 56th minute to restore parity. Saul then made up for his earlier
error by nodding Atletico ahead, before the scoring was completed by Torres
steering home a cross from fellow sub Luciano Vietto.
