After a low key first half Atletico were more aggressive after the interval against LaLiga’s second-bottom side and broke the deadlock in the 55th minute when Antoine Griezmann lifted a cross for Morata to head past goalkeeper Augusto Batalla.

Five minutes later midfielder Saúl Ñíguez scored a similar goal but it was disallowed although it was a very close call.

A day after VAR controversy made headlines following three debatable decisions in Real Madrid’s 3-2 comeback win over bottom side Almeria, refereeing was again under the spotlight.
Granada’s players were fuming after what seemed like a clear José María Giménez handball inside the area was not given as a penalty by the referee with the decision not overturned by VAR.

Griezmann hit the post in the 88th minute and substitute Ángel Correa missed a sitter from close-range off the rebound that should have given Atletico a more comfortable win.

Key Moments:
1:12 – Alvaro Morata Goal (assist Antoine Griezman)
1:29 – Disallowed Goal – Saul Niguez
1:50 – Great chance for Granada to level the game
2:05 – Griezman hits the post and a great save from Augusto Batalla for the follow up
2:27 – Disallowed Goal – Antoine Griezman
2:35 – Great chance for Granada and a goal line clearance
