Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid: Simeone must apologise to Lookman again as new system propels Rojiblancos to victory

Atlético Madrid struck three times in the final 10 minutes to secure a hard-fought 3-0 victory away against Real Sociedad on Sunday evening, ending their recent slump in dramatic fashion.

The Matchweek 5 LALIGA encounter at the Anoeta Stadium pitted a resilient Real Sociedad side against an Atlético team desperate to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Athletic Club and Liverpool.

With Julián Alvarez absent from the squad, manager Diego Simeone once again tasked Nigerian international Ademola Lookman with leading the line.

He once again struggled to impact the game. However, the visitors eventually triumphed thanks to a late surge and a 3-4-3 system which helped players like Grimaldo and Giuliano Simeone shine.
