Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone was relieved to see Antoine Griezmann end his LaLiga goal drought against Eibar, acknowledging his side "depend" on the forward.
The France international scored with 16 minutes remaining as Atletico won 2-0 in the Basque Country on Saturday, Saul Niguez having netted a controversial opener from what looked to be an offside position earlier in the second half.
Griezmann's goal – after an impressive one-two with substitute Kevin Gameiro – was his first in 10 league matches, with his previous top-flight strike coming against Valencia back on October 2.
And Simeone stressed the importance of his form to Atletico's chances of success.
