Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone hailed the performance of Thomas Partey after victory over Getafe.

The midfielder was outstanding on the day.

And Simeone enthused, "As for Thomas, he is a player that if he had come from City or United, we would talk about a wonderful, fantastic player...

"Now, coming from the club, we say he is a good player. I consider him as if he came from United or City."

The coach is also pleased with the progress with Thomas Lemar.

"I see him participating in midfield, he is destabilising, but he is growing. I have no doubt that he will give us joy. He makes an effort for the defensive side and is on the way to what we want."
