Alvaro Morata netted his first goal for Atletico Madrid in a 2-0 victor at home to Villarreal today which reduced the gap behind to seven points.
Morata, who has been unlucky in recent games scored in the 31st minute, firing a cross from Filipe Luis into the bottom corner on the volley.
His words, “At last [the goal] came, with the victory too I am going home very happy today,”
“I was joking a little bit with my teammates. Until I had seen that all the officials in the stadium were giving the goal, I did not celebrate too much. The important thing was the three points, we try to take as many points as possible in our stadium, and we got a very important result today.”
Simeone also praised the Spanish striker having previously had the “bad luck” to see two “legal” goals not stand.
He said “We saw him doubt whether to celebrate it or not,” the Argentine told BeIN Sports. “The poor guy had the bad luck for two goals he scored legally were disallowed. But he keeps improving, the team needs him and we are happy.”
