Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone hailed the performance of Saul Niguez after victory over Athletic Bilbao.

Saul struck in the 2-1 win.

Simeone said, "He's an all-round midfielder, as [Carlos] Bilardo would say.

"That means he is in a very special place – it wasn't by chance that he scored tonight – he's a born goal scorer.

"He will continue to develop with his efforts, heeding advice and improving so that he gets more minutes."
