Fernando Torres scores the winning goal for Atletico Madrid at Villarreal

 
Fernando Torres scored a winner for Atletico Madrid against Villarreal 15 minutes from time, boosting Diego Simeone’s side chances of clinching La Liga’s third place. 

The defending Liga champions struggled throughout at El Madrigal, with the Yellow Submarine going toe-to-toe with Atletico Madrid. However, there was a lack of genuine quality in the final third from both teams - with a mistake ultimately deciding the game.


Eric Bailly was caught in possession by Torres, who rounded Sergio Asenjo and evaded the tackles of two Villarreal defenders to finish into the gaping net - securing a narrow 1-0 win over Villarreal at El Madrigal.

Asenjo suffered a horrific ankle injury with less than 10 minutes left to play, landing awkwardly after jumping to collect a cross. The Argentine goalkeeper was healthy enough to walk off the pitch, but was replaced by Juan Carlos.
