Atlético Madrid vs Celta Vigo

Antoine Griezmann came on at minute 63 for the fifth consecutive La Liga game and for once Atletico Madrid did not need him to pick up a win.

Celta meanwhile seem happy to soak up the pressure and hurt them on the break. The Belgian gets his head over the ball and smashes it at pace with his left-foot into the back of the net. They managed to kickstarted their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win against Porto on Wednesday. Aspas has scored in every LaLiga game so far this season. It's a confident display from the away side. Gabriel Veiga pulled a goal back for the visitors with a fine shot that beat Ivo Grbic at his near post. Veiga’s first goal from Iago Aspas’ pass gave the visitors hope. 29' - Morata flicks the ball of Celta's defence and charges into the penalty area on the left-flank, firing a low pass across the box in the hope of a simple tap-in. But there was no late comeback. 32' - Celta enjoy a three-minute spell with the ball as they patiently work the ball up the field to take the sting out of the match. Joao Felix came on alongside Matheus Cunha and it was the Brazlian who got the fourth to end the game as a contest and move Atletico up to fourth in the table. - Atletico Madrid thrashed Celta Vigo 4-1 in LaLiga to climb to fourth in the table

She is a different model of champion, perhaps not the kind they are used to or particularly get behind in New York. Swiatek is the second woman since the slams opened themselves up to professionals in 1968 to win her first six sets in grand slam singles finals. This final came at the end of a tournament that Swiatek entered with low expectations. At times her play was brilliant, and when her level dropped, as it did in the second set, she was gritty. If anyone was beginning to doubt Swiatek after her mid-summer dip, this Arthur Ashe Stadium triumph banished the thought she is anything other than exceptional. It's really mind blowing for me and I'm so proud I could handle it mentally."
