Antoine Griezmann goal hands Atletico Madrid late victory vs. Celta Vigo
Fourth-placed Atletico Madrid salvaged a 3-2 win over Celta Vigo.
Fernando Torres scored a stunning goal, flicking the ball into the top corner while facing away from the net, but also failed to convert a penalty.
Yannick Carrasco scored Atletico's second goal with another remarkable strike, a long-range volley into the corner in the 86th as Atletico twice came from behind.
