"Atlético Madrid earned back-to-back LaLiga wins with a 3-0 victory over Mallorca. A comfortable display from Diego Simeone's side saw Alexander Sorloth open the scoring in the first half before a comical own goal from David López and Thiago Almada's fierce strike wrapped up the win. Victory means Atlético are now unbeaten in their last five league outings, while Mallorca remain just above the relegation zone."
"Atlético took the lead in the 22nd minute when Marcos Llorente's powerful volley was superbly saved by Roman, but the ball fell for Sorloth to blast home. Julián Álvarez had an opportunity to double the lead just before the break and Simeone came close shortly after the restart when his header flew wide. Roman was forced to save an effort from Pablo Barrios and the midfielder had another promising chance when his long-range shot whistled just past an upright."
