Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman featured for Atletico Madrid as they returned to winning ways with a 3-0 victory away to Real Sociedad in La Liga on Sunday. Lookman started the match and was substituted in the 76th minute.
A Late Flurry Settles A Tight Contest
Real Sociedad had the better of possession, holding 54 percent of the ball and generating more attacking opportunities, but it was Atletico who proved far more clinical in front of goal. The visitors broke the deadlock in the 84th minute when Alejandro Grimaldo converted from the penalty spot, before Jonathan David doubled the lead in the 90th minute. Giuliano Simeone added a third deep into stoppage time to complete a comfortable-looking scoreline that belied a tightly fought match.
Ending A Difficult Run
The result brings an end to a rough patch for Atletico, who had lost 3-0 away to Athletic Bilbao and 2-1 to Liverpool in the Champions League in their previous two outings. The win lifts them to fourth in La Liga on 10 points after five matches, level with Alaves and Sevilla.
Sociedad Continue To Struggle
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, drop to 12th place on seven points from six games, continuing to search for consistency this season.
