Thomas steals Atletico three points with last-ditch goal vs. Deportivo

Following their back-to-back draws against Qarabag, the ESPN FC panel question if Atletico Madrid’s UCL dominance is done.

It had been one of the least memorable games of the season thus far on the north-eastern coast of Spain, with neither side looking like scoring. That was until Lucas Hernandez broke forward two minutes into stoppage time before being felled on the edge of the box.

With Gabi and Nicolas Gaitan standing over it, Depor were caught…

Atletico has now won five straight and head to the Bernabeu to face rival Real playing some of their best football.
Atletico Madrid’s new-found goal machine Filipe Luis secured a harder than necessary 1-0 victory at home to Real Sociedad on Tuesday night.
