Atletico Madrid maintained top spot in LaLiga after hammering Granada 7-1 at the Estadio Vicente Calderon on Saturday.

It started badly for Diego Simeone's Atletico side as Isaac Cuenca gave rock-bottom Granada a shock lead with a smart 18th-minute volley but the hosts charged back thanks to a Yannick Carrasco hat-trick.

Substitute Nico Gaitan hooked home a fourth with his first touch after replacing Kevin Gameiro and drilled in a second with nine minutes to go.

There was still time for Angel Correa and Tiago to get on the scoresheet as Atletico ripped their opponents apart in the second half.
