| Espanyol 3 - 0 Atletico Madrid - 90min |
Atletico Madrid failed to cement second place in La Liga as Diego Simeone's side slipped to a shock 3-0 defeat to Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors had multiple chances early on with Alvaro Morata, Koke and Stefan Savic all going close, but Los Rojiblancos struggled to find the breakthrough.
Espanyol punished Atletico for failing to take the initiative as they broke forward on a swift counter attack, with Diego Godin unfortunate to slide the ball into his own net from a cross to hand the home side a shock lead.

Things went from bad to worse for Atletico late on as a clumsy challenge from Juanfran inside the box saw Espanyol awarded a penalty with a minute remaining. Iglesias stepped up to fire home from the spot, sealing his brace and capping an emphatic victory for Rubi's side.
