Suarez makes history with double and assist on Atletico Madrid debut

Luis Suarez made an immediate impact at Atletico Madrid by scoring two and setting up another as they trounced Granada 6-1 on Sunday.

The striker joined Diego Simeone's side from Barcelona in a €6 million (£5.5m/$7m) deal on Thursday after a move to Juventus fell through.

The 33-year-old came off the bench to make his debut for Atleti when he replaced Diego Costa in the 70th minute with his side 3-0 up.
