Felix back with a bang as Atletico brush aside Villarreal - Vanguard News

Atletico Madrid’s Portuguese forward Joao Felix celebrates after scoring during the Spanish league football match Club Atletico de Madrid against Villarreal CF at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid on February 23, 2020.

Kieran Trippier was also back after recovering from a groin injury and he was involved in Atletico’s second goal as Koke headed in.Atletico’s inconsistency this season means they are out of the title race, 12 points adrift of leaders Barcelona, who thrashed Eibar 5-0 on Saturday. Liverpool are expected to overturn Atletico’s lead at Anfield but it looks like Simeone will be able to field a bolstered side for the second leg.Diego Costa came off the bench on Tuesday, although he was not involved against Villarreal, while Felix, Trippier and Morata are all fit again and available.

Alcacer, who joined Villarreal from Borussia Dortmund last month, gave the away side the lead with a brilliant shot from the edge of the box in the 16th minute but Correa levelled before half-time, flicking in after a mistake by Raul Albiol. A poor run of form had threatened to kill Sevilla’s chances of securing a place in Europe’s premier tournament but they dismantled usually solid Getafe with goals from Lucas Ocampos, Fernando Reges and Jules Kounde.
