Atlético de Madrid maintained their unbeaten start to LaLiga courtesy of a 3-0 win over a struggling Valencia.

Scorers: Gallagher 38′, Griezmann 54′, Alvarez 90+4′

A cagey first half was finally broken by Conor Gallagher opening his account with a well-taken finish after Rodrigo De Paul nutmegged Cristhian Mosquera.

The Colchoneros doubled their advantage early in the second half when Antonine Griezmann reacted quickest in the penalty area to prod home from close range.

Julián Alvarez added a third deep in added time to end his five-game wait for a first goal for Diego Simeone’s side.

Atleti sit third, tied with local rivals Real Madrid on goal difference and four points adrift of leaders Barcelona.
