Thomas Partey earned an assist in his first game for Atletico Madrid since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, as they won 4-1 away at Sporting Gijon on Saturday afternoon.
The Ghana midfielder put a ball through for Kevin Gameiro to score the team’s third and his second of the day on his way to an impressive hat trick in six minutes at the Estadio Municipal El Molinón.
Partey was a 68th minute substitute for Yannick Carrasco, who had sent the visitors into the lead on 46 minutes.
