Torres' 1st La Liga goal since return to Atleti !

Hey everyone,

                       

Fernando Torres scored his 1st goal in La Liga for Atletico Madrid, since his return to his boyhood club in January. It was his birthday yesterday (20th March) and it was a delight watching him score again. The player, fondly known as 'El Nino' in Spain, was on the score sheet almost immediately after the start of the game. Torres vindicated his inclusion in the starting line up when he scored from a well taken header, off Koke's cross. It was a thumping header that was expertly guided from among quite a few players around him. Torres has always been really good especially with his headers and with this one too, he gave the keeper little chance to stop it. Atletico looked sharp for the rest of the game and were barely tested. Another goal right before the end of 1st half score by Tiago all but wrapped off the game. They played with great control in the 2nd half too to seal all 3 points and stay in the hunt for the top spot in La Liga.
