Antoine Griezmann comes off the bench to score the winner in a 1-0 victory for Atletico over Valencia.
VAR ruled out Yunus Musah’s brilliant rifled effort for a foul in the build-up.
And Correia thought he’d been sent off for denying Morata a goal-scoring opportunity.
But that was also overturned by VAR.
Antoine Griezmann made an instant impact off the bench in the second half, scoring just two minutes after his introduction.
And Giorgi Mamardashvili made some great late saves to stop them from adding to their tally.

Goal:
GRIEZMANN SCORES! The substitutes make an instant impact! Soler doesn’t realise that Lemar is behind him and he nicks the ball off the Valencia captain before squaring it into Griezmann. He touches before curling his shot past Comert and into the near bottom corner, leaving Mamardashvili wrongfooted on his line. 1-0 Atletico!
So, what’s next?
Atletico Madrid bounces back from their defeat to Villarreal, and this win lifts them up to sixth in the table. Next up for them is a trip to Real Sociedad.
It’s back-to-back losses for Valencia Football Club, who will be looking to turn things around against Getafe at the weekend.
