"Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann came off the bench to guide them to a 2-1 victory over struggling Valencia, helping snap their losing run in La Liga and stay in touch with the frontrunners. Koke opened the scoring in the 17th minute, his first league goal in nearly two years, but Lucas Beltran provided the equaliser for the visitors in the 63rd minute with a stunning strike from the edge of the box."
"The goal seemed to unsettle Atletico, but Griezmann restored order 12 minutes later, expertly controlling a long pass from Marc Pubill before hammering a thunderous half-volley into the top corner from close range. Atletico remain fourth and are one point behind third-place Villarreal, who visit Levante on Sunday. Atletico are six adrift of Barcelona, the leaders, who host Osasuna later on Saturday."
