Morata Scores First Goal for Atletico

-


Alvaro Morata scored his first Atletico Madrid goal as they beat Villarreal.

 The striker, on loan from Chelsea, met Filipe Luis' left-wing cross with a low volley from near the penalty spot.

 He celebrated by pretending he was speaking to a video official, having been denied goals by VAR against two former sides - Juventus on Wednesday and Real Madrid on 9 February.

 Saul scored a late second as he ran on to Diego Costa's long ball to lob Sergio Asenjo from eight yards out.

 Atleti are seven points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, who beat Sevilla 4-2 on Saturday.

 They could have won by more, with substitute Costa missing a one on one and Jose Maria Gimenez having a header saved.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain provided the sharpness and dynamism Jurgen Klopp will have been delighted to see despite Liverpool suffering a 3-2 preseason defeat to Borussia Dortmund. The England international, who was involved in just four matchday squads last season as he recovered from multiple ligament damage, was the standout star for the European champions at Notre Dame Stadium. His explosive runs from midfield were on show and he provided the impetus in attack for the Reds during the first outing of their US tour. Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross from the right, which Ryan Kent connected with nearly had Liverpool level after Paco Alcacer converted from close range following poor defending three minutes in, but Marwin Hitz pulled off a superb save. Klopp's side did equalise after Fabinho supplied a lovely pass, which was met by a clever Kent dummy before Harry Wilson applied the finish to a well-worked goal. Dortmund responded with a quick double in the second half after...
