Atlético Madrid - Granada CF live updates

Full-time: Atletico Madrid 3-0 Granada. That was as routine as routine gets, and Atleti join Barcelona on 76 points; Granada are just a point above the relegation zone and Levante, a win behind them, are ahead.

There's a bit of running and kicking, but none of it of any note.

There shall be three added minutes.

This, the trip to Bilbao aside, is a deeply presentable run-in.

GOAL! Atletico Madrid 3-0 Granada. Correa, pulling on the last man at inside-left, is sent through by Torres and advancing into the box, he leans left - Fernandez follows with his dive - and rolls right. Nicely taken.

34 golden unicorns streak across the pitch. There is a shotrt break while they're cleared.

Oliver Torres lifts a ball to Juanfran, manfully raiding down the right before picking out Biraghi with his low cross.

Things are now quieter than a Trappist mouse.

I know I intimated earlier that telling Simeone you wanted to play for another club would prevent players from doing exactly that, that was flippant. The reality is that there are very reasons anyone would want to, even if they were handy.

Simeone clearly thinks this one is over - Oliver Torres comes on for the superb Koke.

Godin tricks Rochina witr a little around the leg Cruyff turn-flick affair, and is duly flattened.

Poor Foulquier departs - Lomban comes on.

Granada win a free-kick on the right by-line and Rochina's cross is a good one, finding Barral unmarked in the box - Torres had wandered off. But he gets under the ball and nods over the top.

David Phillps, Panini hunk, is Sky's co-commentator - here he is in a previous life.

Given the general irrelevance of goal difference in La Liga, I'm fairly sure both teams would happily turn it in now.

A change apiece: a disappointed Griezmann is replaced by the promising Correa, and Barral is on for Krhin.

There'll be significant relief at the Calderon - that goal was not coming, however philosophically unsoundly that reads, and in that context, a two-goal lead is a bonus.

GOAL! Atletico Madrid 2-0 Granada. This is a superb goal! Koke, drifting centrally from right to left, measures a through-ball for Torres, who sweeps it into his stride. Then, as the keeper advances, he adjusts his pattern to flip a composed finish scross the dive into the net; that is almost definitely that.

Griezmann has looked a lottle more lively therse last couple of minutes, and he finds Torres then dashes past him. The lofted return duly arrives - and drifts nowhere near him.
