Partey hails Atletico Madrid after scoring dramatic winner to overpower Eibar

Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Teye Partey has praised their mental strength after netting a last-gasp match-winner over Eibar in La Liga on Sunday.

Six minutes after coming on for Joao Felix, the Ghana international turned hero for Los Rojiblancos with a fine finish to make it 3-2 for his side in injury time.

It was a dramatic comeback for Atletico as Charles and Anaitz Arbilla gave visiting Eibar in a two-goal lead before Felix and Vitolo scored to make it 2-2 for the hosts.

“We suffered at the beginning of the match, but the team never stopped believing," Partey said, as reported by hi club's official website after the game.
