MADRID, Sept 22 — Atletico Madrid’s Luis Suarez struck two late goals to give the LaLiga champions a 2-1 win at Getafe on Tuesday after the hosts were reduced to 10 men late in the second half.
It was the first time Getafe had scored against Atletico in 1,583 minutes of LaLiga football, ending Diego Simeone’s remarkable run of never conceding against his side’s neighbours in the league since taking charge of the club in December 2011. But the 10 men could only hold on for so long and Atletico levelled when Suarez controlled a cross from substitute Mario Hermoso with his right foot before blasting the ball into the net with his left in the 78th minute.The Uruguayan then snatched the winner in added time, ghosting away from his marker Mitrovic to head home a cross from Sime Vrsaljko to score his second of the game after netting once in his previous six appearances in all competitions.
“We still need to improve and solve a few things that we are not doing well but things will improve because the season has barely started.” The Argentine coach started Suarez with Antoine Griezmann in attack but for the third league game in a row he took off the French forward, who has offered little since returning to Atletico on loan from Barcelona on transfer deadline day.
