Atletico Madrid bounced back to winning ways in La Liga thanks to a routine 4-1 victory over Celta Vigo in the Spanish capital.
Los Rojiblancos have endured a mixed start to the 2022/23 domestic campaign but they showed trademark ruthlessness against the Galicians in Madrid.
The hosts clicked into gear from the start in this tie, as Angel Correa raced into the box, to smash them into a 1-0 lead after nine minutes.
However, despite Iago Aspas hitting a post in response, the home side took the game away from Celta after the restart, with Rodrigo de Paul’s deflected strike doubling their lead.

Yannick Carrasco raced clear to net another deflected goal just after, and Gabri Veiga netted a Celta consolation, and Unai Nunez’s diverted home Matheus Cunha’s cross shot to wrap up the win.
Saturday night beating @RCCeltaEN 4-1 at the @Metropolitano!
