Partey's goal seals big win for Atletico Madrid over Wakaso and Twumasi's Alaves

Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Teye Partey marked his return from international duty with a sublime strike as the club handed Deportivo Alaves a 4-0 thrashing in the Spanish La Liga on Saturday.

The 25-year-old, who netted for the Black Stars in a 3-1 win over Mauritania in an international friendly on Tuesday, curled a sweet ball into the top right corner to help Los Rojiblancos claim all three points away at Estadio de Mendizorroza.

He has now tallied three league goals in 25 matches involving 16 starts.

Atletico opened the scoring in the fifth minute through Saul Niguez whose shot slipped through the legs of goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco into the net.
