That's the final whistle. Espanyol have dismantled Atletico Madrid 4-2, largely due to that fantastic start. Great win for the home side.
Atletico's Godin picks up a yellow card for a foul.
Espanyol have a real swagger about themselves tonight and are continuing to control the game. Atletico look dejected and ready for the dressing room.
Atletico's Miranda is booked.
Strangely, the goalscorer Turan has been replaced by Koke.
GOAL! Or is it? Turan pulls one back with a terrific volley from the edge of the box. Too little too late? Perhaps, but that was a real moment of quality by Turan.
Wasted opportunity for Atletico as Filipe fires high over the bar from the left side of the box, despite having two players well placed in the box to his right. It's not Atletico's night, one feels.
Atletico's Perea is booked for a late challenge on Vila. He caught him late on the foot - looked painful.
Falcao tucks the ball into the net - but again the flag is up. This time against Turan, who had staryed offside before he played in Falcao.
You have to say Atletico have defended terribly tonight, lacked width and left Falcao painfully isolated in attack. They've been distinctly second best here tonight.
Another big chance for Sergio Garciá, who meets Verdu's corner and, despite being unmarked, sends his header straight at Courtois. Big chance for 5-1.
Assunção's first contribution to the match is a foul, for which he is booked.
And Espanyol bring on Gómez for Fonte.
Atletico replace Suarez with Assunção.
Both sides shaking things up again with a couple of changes...
Espanoyol sub Baena is booked for a foul.
Espanyol are hungry for more goals and you wouldn't rule them out adding to their tally tonight.
Verdu picks out Sergio Garciá with a beautiful chipped pass, but Sergio Garciá fires his volley wide of the near post. Would have been a very special goal, that.
Falcao sticks the ball past Alvarez and into the back of the net - but he is correctly flagged offside.
Courtois denies Bifouma with a spectacular diving save to his left. Bifouma cuts in from the left before shooting to the top corner, but is denied by a brilliant one-handed stop by Courtois.
