Saturday Recap
As they have done many times this season, Atleti edged past their opponents to reaffirm their slim chances of catching Real and Barca at the top of the division.
Espanyol offered credible resistance to Simeone's men, and it took until the 73rd minute for the visitors to carve out a breakthrough.
Griezmann was Atleti's ace in the hand as the Frenchman scored his 100th goal in La Liga.
Squawka Football highlighted the striker's achievement:
A brace from Cedric Bakambu, including a goal in the 92nd minute, gave Villarreal a last-gasp victory against lowly Leganes.
Bakambu had given the hosts the lead after 68 minutes, but the visitors equalised on the stroke of full-time through Miguel Angel Guerrero.
However, there was still enough time for a dramatic winner as the 26-year-old found the back of the net in injury time to break the Cucumber Growers' hearts.
Malaga cantered to a 2-0 victory against Valencia at home, with first-half goals from Recio and Sandro Ramirez settling the affair.
Osasuna and Sporting Gijon remain rooted in the relegation zone after drawing 2-2 at El Sadar Stadium.
Jorge Mere's own goal had given the home team an early advantage, and Kenan Kodro's effort 18 minutes from time appeared to have wrapped up a rare win.
However, Roberto Canella and Carlos Castro both struck in a two-minute spell late in the game as Osasuna surrendered maximum points.
