Atletico Madrid are out-rightly top
of the La Ligas standing for the first
time since their double-winning
1995-96 season after a 4-0
demolition of Real Sociedad.
The match started with a tribute to
former player and coach Luis Aragones,
who died on Saturday.
Fans remained silent for the first eight
minutes before beginning to chant
Aragones’ name in a tribute to the
number he wore as a player with the
club.
David Villa Celebrates Goal Against
Sociedad.
“When someone like Luis leaves us there
is pain and sadness, but today the fans,
the game and the silence for the first
eight minutes before they sang his name
moved me,” said manager Diego Simeone.
“From above he would be wearing red
and white and happy with the barvery we
showed.”
The host took the lead through David
Villa, who finished off a fine team move
for his 12th goal of the season-sweeping
in Diego Costa’s low cross-, in the 38th
minute.
Striker Costa doubled the Rojiblancos’
lead in the 72nd minute, keeping his
composure to slot in home Raul Garcia’s
through ball.
Two minutes later, Miranda rose highest
to power home Koke’s corner and Diego
completed scoring when he ran inside
Sociedad’s box before blasting hihj into
the roof of the net.
Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo was sent
off as Real madrid lost ground in the
Spanish La Liga title chase with a 1-1
draw away to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
The draw moves Real level with
Barcelona, who suffered a shock defeat
at home to Valencia on Saturday, three
points behind Atletico.
Jesse Rodriguez opened scoring for the
Los Blancos, who looked well on course
for their 11th consecutive victory,
prodding home a Ronaldo cross in the
25th minute.
However, after Ibai Gomez produced a
spectacular equaliser, Ronaldo was
shown a red card for lashing at Carlos
Gurpegi.
