Diego Simeone has described Atletico Madrid's 2-0 win over Getafe on Saturday as his side's best La Liga performance of the season.
Atleti had won just one of their opening four games – leaving them seven points behind early pacesetters Barcelona – but bounced back to winning ways against their city rivals.
They were indebted to a fine performance from Thomas Lemar, whose thunderous early strike from 30 yards crashed back off the crossbar and into the net via the back of unfortunate goalkeeper David Soria.
