Atlético Madrid thump Sporting Gijón as Fernando Torres bags two late goals

Atlético Madrid strikers Antoine Griezmann, Fernando Torres and Kévin Gameiro all scored in their 5-0 victory over Sporting Gijón to warm up for Wednesday’s visit to the Camp Nou.

Atlético kick-started their league campaign last week with a 4-0 win at Celta Vigo and raced out of the traps against Sporting, with Gameiro feeding Griezmann to tap in the opener in the second minute before curling in another in the fifth.
