Thomas Partey Seals Dramatic Comeback For Atletico Madrid

Thomas Partey scored a late winner as Atletico Madrid fought back from two goals down against Eibar.

Thomas Partey’s 90th-minute goal sealed a fine comeback for Atletico who are two points clear at the top of the table.

With Barcelona and Real Madrid both drawing, it ensured Diego Simeone’s side made ground on both their rivals. Real are four points back in fifth with Barcelona five points behind in eighth.

A header from Brazilian forward Charles and a deflected Anaitz Arbilla strike put the visitors two goals up inside 20 minutes.

However, Diego Costa’s rampaging run down the right provided Joao Felix with a tap in for his first goal in Spain since his £113m summer move from Benfica.
