FT
Full-time: Atletico Madrid cruise to a 5-0 victory over a dreadful Eibar to move four points clear at the top of La Liga. Your turn, Real. Check out our website for a full match report.
90'
Three more added minutes of misery for Eibar to endure.
88'
Yellow card! The first booking of the game is handed to Eibar's substitute Oliveira. It has been a tame affair.
85'
This game is done and dusted. Atleti are in cruise control, just keeping a hold of the ball as the clock ticks closer to 90. With Correa, Carrasco and Llorente all in such devastating form, it's hard to pick a man of the match.
80'
Atleti are on easy street as we enter the last 10 minutes of the game. It's another day of misery for Eibar who will extend their winless run to 14 games.
77'
Out of the four title contenders - Atleti, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla - Diego Simeone's side have the easiest run-in. Can they hold their nerve? They have certainly sent out a warning to their rivals this afternoon.
76'
Atletico are moving four points clear at the top of the league ahead of Real Madrid's trip to Getafe this evening. All eyes will be on that one later and Eurosport will be providing live commentary.
74'
Atleti sub: Felipe comes on for Savic.
72'
Eibar subs: Kike, Cote and Rodrigues are off, with Gonzales, Rafa and Recio their replacements.
70'
Atleti subs: Herrera and Carrasco make way for Kondogbia and Torreira.
68'
GOAL! Atletico Madrid 5-0 Eibar (Marcos Llorente): Llorente at the double! It's all too easy for Atleti. It's worked down the left flank, with Carrasco pulling it back to centre. Llorente is found in space inside the penalty area and he keeps his composure to rifle a shot past the helpless Dmitrovic.
64'
Double Eibar sub: The visitors respond with changes of their own, Garcia and Dufur making way for Takashi Inui and Paulo Oliveira.
62'
Atleti sub: Koke comes off for Vitolo in midfield.
61'
Atleti sub: Correa makes way for Dembele, who is making his recovery after a spell on the sidelines. He has half an hour to impress now.
57'
Without Suarez and Felix, the pressure was really on Atleti today. But they have held their nerve and their quality is really telling now.
55'
This will do Atleti's confidence the world of good. After a run of just one victory in four, Simeone's side are really turning on the style here.
53'
GOAL! Atletico Madrid 4-0 Eibar (Marcos Llorente): Atleti are tearing the visitors apart! The goal comes from the left, as Lodi is found in space - again. Correa takes over, rolling a ball into space for Llorente and he finishes with a first-time side-footed shot.
49'
GOAL! Atletico Madrid 3-0 Eibar (Yannick Carrasco): The visiting defence is caught square from Saul's simple long ball over the top. Carrasco nudges it past the onrushing goalkeeper before finishing into an empty net. That should do it!
48'
Atleti continue to target the left flank as Lodi gets in behind the Eibar defence but he can't pick out a cross after getting to the by-line.
