Girona 1 Atletico Madrid 1: Griezmann streak continues in Copa del Rey draw

Atletico Madrid ground out a 1-1 draw at Girona in the Copa del Rey courtesy of Antoine Griezmann's seventh goal in eight games.

Antoine Griezmann continued his goalscoring streak as Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at Girona to edge them towards the last eight of the Copa del Rey.

Diego Simeone's side have not beaten Girona since they were promoted to LaLiga in 2017, but the visitors looked prime to end that run when Griezmann fortuitously put Atletico into the lead after nine minutes with his seventh goal in eight games.

However, the hosts hit back 25 minutes later as Anthony Lozano netted only his second goal of the season on a night when he was a thorn in Atletico's side.
