Alvarez late show lifts Atleti into third
Julian Alvarez latched onto Antoine Griezmann's pinpoint cross to snatch a 1-0 win for Atletico Madrid at Celta Vigo in a pulsating LaLiga clash.
Just three days out from the highly-anticipated Madrid Derby, the Argentine's strike ensured Atleti goes into the clash just two points adrift of its city rival.
With Celta dominating possession and creating more chances, it was a typically gritty performance from Diego Simeone's men, who took almost an hour to muster a shot on target.
Maligned Alvarez, the subject of intense scrutiny in the capitol since his big money transfer from Manchester City, produced a moment of clinical brilliance to send Los Colchoneros above Villarreal and into third on the table.
