Kevin Gameiro ended Atletico Madrid's goal drought on the road as Diego Simeone's men ground out a 1-0 win at Celta Vigo on Sunday to leapfrog Real Madrid into third in La Liga.

Atletico's attacking options while they wait for Diego Costa's return in January have been much criticised in recent weeks, particularly after a 0-0 draw at Azerbaijani champions Qarabag on Wednesday left their chances of reaching the Champions League last 16 in peril.

However, on his first league start of the season, Gameiro fired home a loose ball from a corner from close range on 28 minutes.

"I've come through a difficult time," Gameiro, who missed the start of the season through injury, told BeIN Sports Spain.

"Now that I am able to play, I can help the team and score goals."

It was only the second away game in Atletico's last six in which Los Rojiblancos have found the net and they set about to defend their lead.

"It wasn't our best game of the season, but we won and that was the objective," added Gameiro. © AFP
