Simeone’s side come from behind to maintain unbeaten LaLiga start

In an exhilarating match at the Metropolitano Stadium, Atletico Madrid showcased their resilience by coming from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Leganes. Alexander Sorloth was the star of the show, scoring twice as Diego Simeone’s side extended their unbeaten start to the LaLiga season, keeping the pressure on league leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Leganes shocked the hosts by taking the lead in the 34th minute, with Yvan Neyou delivering a stunning strike into the top corner. However, Atletico responded strongly in the second half. Sorloth leveled the score in the 69th minute, skillfully back-heeling Axel Witsel’s cross into the net for his first home league goal since joining from Villarreal.

The momentum shifted further in Atletico’s favor when Antoine Griezmann found the net with just 11 minutes remaining, as his lofted cross unexpectedly crept in at the far post, putting the hosts ahead. Sorloth then capped off the comeback deep into stoppage time, converting a rebound after Julian Alvarez’s initial shot was saved.

With this victory, Atletico Madrid continues to demonstrate their strength in LaLiga, maintaining their unbeaten record and keeping the title race competitive.
