Summary

In-form Antoine Griezmann scored one goal and made another as Atletico Madrid cruised to a 3-0 win over Celta Vigo in La Liga Sunday, consolidating their grip on second place.

Griezmann opened the scoring just before the break at the Wanda Metropolitano with his 16th goal of the season in La Liga, his 11th in the last nine games.

It was a seventh win in eight La Liga outings for Atletico, the exception being last weekend's 1-0 loss at Barcelona.

Vitolo's last three goals in La Liga have now been for three different teams – he previously netted for Sevilla and then scored for Las Palmas against Celta earlier this season.
