Atletico Madrid 3 Las Palmas 0: Griezmann & Torres cut Barca lead to eight

After three games without a win, Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres helped Atletico Madrid beat Las Palmas 3-0.

Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres were on the scoresheet as Atletico Madrid got back to winning ways and cut the gap to LaLiga leaders Barcelona to eight points with a 3-0 victory over Las Palmas.

Atletico had failed to win any of their last three games, being held by Girona and losing in both legs of their Copa del Rey tie with Sevilla, and they were unconvincing for long periods against their struggling visitors with striker Diego Costa again out of the squad.
