Griezmann nets double in Atletico Madrid draw

Antoine Griezmann struck twice at Atletico Madrid drew 2-2 at Malaga.

The French forward made the most of an embarrassing goalkeeping error from Carlos Kameni to put Atleti ahead midway through the first half but a Fernando Torres own-goal drew the hosts level 12 minutes later.

Samuel Garcia turned the game in Malaga's favour with a classy finish with 20 minutes remaining, but Griezmann struck again not long after, scoring a fiercely contested goal.

The draw is a blow to both side's European ambitions, although Atletico will remain third in the Primera Division table and Malaga seventh at the end of the weekend, regardless of what happens in the other games.
