After just three games, Conor Gallagher is officially off and running as an Atlético de Madrid player.

Gallagher joined Diego Simeone’s side after five years in Chelsea’s first-team ranks and wasted little time endearing himself to his new fans.

The midfielder’s performances have been solid while he finally opened his account in Sunday’s LaLiga encounter with Valencia.

A sweeping finish from Rodrigo De Paul’s through ball unlocked a previously cagey encounter at the Civitas Metropolitano for the hosts.

Gallagher’s first goal for the Colchoneros also etched his name into the list of the youngest English players to score in Spain’s top flight this century.

Starting as he means to go on.
