Atletico main impressive record

By Daily Sports on September 24, 2017

Atletico maintained their impressive start to the season despite the difficulties of a ban on registering new players.

Costa won't be able to feature until January after completing his prolonged return to the club from Chelsea for a reported club record fee of €55 million, plus €10 million in add-ons.

"We are happy that a player of his stature wants to come to Atletico Madrid," Atletico boss Diego Simeone said of Costa's return.

Filipe Luis smashed the underside of the bar with Atletico's best effort of a first half short on clear-cut chances.

But it took less than a minute of the second period to break the deadlock when Carrasco showed great awareness and pace to latch onto a short back pass from Steven N'Zonzi to beat Sergio Rico to the ball, round the keeper and slot into an empty net.

Griezmann then made the game safe 20 minutes from time as the French international won a tackle inside the Sevilla box before lifting himself off the floor to receive Luis's pass and drill through Rico's legs.

"In the first half we found it more difficult and they controlled the game," added Simeone.

"But you could see with Carrasco, Griezmann and Filipe that if we got the final pass right we could win the game.

"At the start of the second half we got the goal that put us on the right track."
