Saturday Recap

Atleti's tough league campaign continued as they crept past lowly Granada with a late goal from their talisman striker.

Griezmann was the match winner, but the visitors failed to convert earlier opportunities and create significant invention.

The Frenchman met Koke's curling cross and broke Granada hearts with a convincing header with just six minutes remaining on the clock.

Squawka Football highlighted the prolific attacker's recent contributions:

Mubarak Wakaso was given his marching orders deep into injury time for the home team after a poor challenge on Griezmann, receiving a second caution.

Sevilla's form continues to fluctuate in the second half of the campaign, and Leganes held them at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

The visitors took a shock lead after only three minutes when Nabil El Zhar assisted Gabriel Pires, who struck from close range.

Sevillistas battled hard to get back into the contest and reaped the rewards when Stevan Jovetic equalised just before the interval.

The hosts could not find a second effort to capture the points on offer but remain five points clear of Atletico.

Alaves consolidated their mid-table position with a fine victory at Malaga, winning 2-1 on the south coast.

Zouhair Feddal gave Alaves the lead shortly before half-time, but the hosts fought back as Juankar equalised after 71 minutes. Feddal saw red after a second yellow card a minute later, hurting his side's chances of sharing the points.

Defending with 10 men on the pitch, Malaga finally capitulated in the final minute, with Edgar Mendez finding the corner to capture a dramatic victory.

Valencia and Sporting could not be separated at the Mestalla as they drew 1-1. Duje Cop struck for the visitors on the hour mark, but Munir hit a late equaliser as Gijon wished for the win.

Without the presence of Griezmann, it is difficult to envisage where Atleti might be this year, and it is becoming apparent they must hold on to the striker in the coming months.

The Frenchman has become the heartbeat of manager Diego Simeone's team, and he is single-handedly keeping the Madrid club's top-four ambitions in check on his own.
