MADRID, Sept. 1-- Atletico Madrid go into the international break as leaders of the La Liga after coming back from 2-0 down at home to clinch a 3-2 victory over Eibar on Sunday. The visitors took a 2-0 lead after just 18 minutes with goals from Charles and Anaitz Arbilla, but Joao Felix got Atletico back into the game before half time. Vitolo's second goal in two games six minutes after halftime made it 2-2 although Eibar continued to make life difficult for Atletico until the last minute when thanks to a mixture of power, fortune and faith Thomas Partey netted the goal which takes Atletico to the top of the table. Gareth Bale scored twice and then got sent off for two yellow cards in injury time as Real Madrid again disappointed with a 2-2 draw away to Villarreal. Villarreal twice took the lead thanks to Gerard Moreno on 11 minutes and Moi Gomez after 73 minutes, but Bale's goals in the 45th and 85th minutes saved Madrid from defeat. It was quite a moment for the Welshman after the club had spent all summer trying to sell him. Barca's early-season crisis also continued on Saturday as Ernesto Valverde's side were held to a 2-2 draw away to recently promoted Osasuna. Roberto Torres put the home side ahead with a left-foot volley after six minutes and after a poor first half, Valverde introduced 16-year-old Ansu Fati into the game. After just five minutes Fati became the youngest player ever to score for Barca when he headed them level and Arthur Melo then put Barca ahead. |
