REAL MADRID-ATLÉTICO

Griezmann ends goal drought in Atlético's derby win

He had not scored on any of the last five La Liga matchdays, and had also failed to net in his past five games in all competitions.

Antoine Griezmann's derby winner against Real Madrid saw him bring his recent goal drought to an end.

The Atlético Madrid ace came into Saturday's clash with Real on a run of five La Liga appearances without scoring and, since a Copa del Rey equaliser against Celta Vigo in January, five games in all competitions without hitting the net.

But the Frenchman grabbed the only goal at the Bernabéu early in the second half, exchanging passes with Filipe Luis and firing past keeper Keylor Navas at the near post.

Griezmann's most recent strike in the league had come in a 3-0 victory at Las Palmas last month, an encounter that saw the 24-year-old pick up a brace.
