Atlético Madrid forward Alexander Sørloth scored twice in the second half as they fought back to earn a 3-1 victory against visitors Leganes in LaLiga on Sunday.
Winless in their previous three games in all competitions with a series of lacklustre performances, Atlético had to recover from a goal down after Cameroon midfielder Yvan Neyou gave Leganes the lead in the 34th minute with a superb strike into the top corner.
Sørloth equalised with a cheeky back-heel in the 69th minute before Antoine Griezmann cleverly chipped a cross past the goalkeeper into the back of the net 11 minutes later, with Sørloth wrapping up the win with a close-range strike from a rebound deep in added time.
Atlético climbed to third in the standings on 20 points, four behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, who have a game in hand and will host Sevilla later on Sunday.
