Atletico Madrid have secured their first La Liga win of the season via a dominant 3-0 victory over Girona.
Los Rojiblancos bounced back from a draw at Villarreal last weekend to record a key win in the Spanish capital.

Diego Simeone’s side finished fourth in La Liga last season, behind Girona in third place, but this was a power play over how they want this campaign to play out.
The hosts started positively at the Estadio Metropolitano as Antoine Griezmann curled home a superb free kick to break the deadlock.
The home side looked to push on after restart as Marcos Llorente cannoned home a brilliant second to score for the second game in a row.
Despite Girona threatening to trigger a fightback late on, Atletico Madrid saw off the contest in the closing stages, as Llorente teed up club captain Koke to tap home a third.
Up next for Atletico Madrid is a midweek home clash against Espanyol on August 28.
