Atletico Madrid literally pushed aside a under power Sevilla side, as the game saw the return of Diego Simeone as he returned to the dug out after a eight game ban.
Atletico who are the defending La Liga champions, defined why they are such a good side and deserved to win the league last season. With the return of Mario Mandzukic, though with a face mask, the red and whites romped through a Seville side who where just ineffective and ill prepared for the night. The first goal came through star midfielder Koke, who hit a shot from 20 yards, just for the ball to get deflected and end in Beto's net.
With Atletico making all the moves, Sevilla were left just chasing shadows. The second of the night came through a set piece as Miranda put in a perfect ball for Sual to head it into the back of the net. At half time, the score was 2-0.
Second half was no different, but this time Sevilla were on a damage control mode, as the tried to reduce the deficit as they introduced two Barcelona loaners to the game.
But it came out be of no use as an 82 minute penalty to Atletico ended any chance of Sevilla come back as Rual Garcia sloted it home. 3-Nil Atletico. And finally to round off a great performe substitute Raul Giminez headed home a fourth and last goal of the night as Atletico marched on to climb to become number three on the table with fourteen points.
