Atletico swat Huesca
First-half goals from Antoine Griezmann, Thomas Partey and Koke helped Atletico Madrid secure a 3-0 home victory over Huesca in La Liga on Tuesday.
Diego Simeone's side were comfortable as they recorded a third consecutive win in all competitions, with all three goals coming in an opening 35-minute blitz.
After an underwhelming start to the season, Atletico looked back to their best, despite Simeone shuffling his pack for the visit of the Liga debutants.
"We are getting back into our groove, being comfortable on the ball and together as one," defender Filipe Luis said.
"Little by little we are getting back to our best. We need to get used to winning again. We had a tough start to the campaign, and we always demand so much of ourselves here and you can't always be at your best. We're on the right track."
The only blemish on a fine performance was the departure of defender Jose Maria Gimenez through injury. Simeone, however, said the substitution was merely precautionary.
"The doctors will look at him tomorrow, but knowing him as I do, I'm hopeful he will be fine for Saturday," the Argentine said.
