Atletico Madrid prolonged the most unlikely of title chases after beating Valencia 3-2 in a thriller at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Thursday night.
Atleti made their strong start to the game count when Alvaro Morata poked home a beautiful cross from Juanfran in the eighth minute, after some clever play from Thomas Lemar.
Despite barely entering Atleti's half in the opening 20 minutes, Valencia grew into the game and crafted a fine goal of their own when Gareido punished his former side from close range.
After Atletico took the lead again through an Antoine Griezmann header, the game seemed destined for a draw following a penalty awarded by VAR, that was dispatched by Daniel Parejo.
