Atletico goes third in La Liga with nervy win over Valladolid

The Hindu  

Atletico Madrid scraped a 1-0 win at home to Real Valladolid on Saturday in La Liga thanks to a late header from substitute Vitolo to move into third in the standings. “In the end we had to get the goal from a set play but we've earned three vital points.” Playing for the first time without fans at the Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico lacked the fluidity its showed in its 5-0 thrashing at Osasuna last Wednesday and was fortunate not to go behind as Valladolid impressed in the first half. Getafe slips up again Getafe's bid to qualify for the Champions League for the first time continued to unravel as it could only draw 1-1 at home to struggling Eibar on Saturday although it escaped a worse fate as a late goal for the visitor was ruled out by a VAR review. Both sides had failed to win either of their first two matches since the season resumed although Eibar's Pedro Bigas thought he had clinched the three points with a glancing header in the 86th minute.
