Diego Simeone has defended his decision to substitute Antoine Griezmann prior to Atletico Madrid's dramatic late winner against Deportivo La Coruna.
Atletico salvaged a 1-0 victory at the Riazor in stoppage time when midfielder Thomas Partey, teed up by a Gabi free-kick, curled past Costel Pantilimon from 20 yards.
Saturday's late drama came after an uninspiring contest produced few clear chances at either end and a surprising decision by Simeone to take off Griezmann when the match was goalless.
With 10 minutes remaining, Griezmann was replaced by defender Jose Gimenez, even though strikers Fernando Torres and Luciano Vietto were available on the bench, with the France international looking unhappy as he left the field.
