Sevilla 1-3 Atletico Madrid: Baena double & Lookman strike silence Pizjuan (highlights)A first-half masterclass from Atletico Madrid silenced the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Diego Simeone's men demolished Sevilla 3-1, scoring three times within the opening 33 minutes to claim top spot in La Liga. Alex Baena, starting as a false nine in the absence of Julian Alvarez, opened the scoring on 4 minutes after Kang-In Lee's through-ball. Ademola Lookman doubled the lead on 26 minutes with a clever near-post finish following Pablo Barrios' driving run. Baena completed his brace just seven minutes later, drilling a fierce strike from outside the box into the bottom corner. Sevilla improved after the break and pulled one back through Miguel Sierra's volley on 66 minutes, but couldn't mount a serious comeback. Lookman had a second goal ruled out for offside after the restart. Jan Oblak made several fine saves to preserve the visitors' advantage. The result moves Atletico top with seven points, ending Sevilla's perfect start to the campaign. Can Simeone's men stay top when they visit Athletic Bilbao next week? SpainMenFootball |
