We were expecting a close match at El Madrigal, but we got anything but. Atletico Madrid were well beaten by a Villarreal side that deserved their 3-0 victory. These are worrying times for Simeone. His team are a shadow of what they have been in recent seasons.

This match is long gone for Atletico Madrid. They were beaten at half time. They have really struggled here. Simeone will be disappointed with the lack of a response from them.

Four minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the match.

WIDE OF THE TARGET! Atletico Madrid ping a number of shots towards goal from the edge of the box. A blocked effort lands at Saul's feet. He gets his shot through, but it drifts wide.

Atletico Madrid now seem to have accepted that they have lost this game. And when Atletico Madrud lose they tend to get a little fiesty. That's exactly what's happening here.

It's getting a bit tetchy at El Madrigal now. Although did the referee get the wrong player for that flailing arm?

Time is quickly running out for Atletico Madrid. One point might not even be enough if they are to stay in touch with the Liga leaders. They really need three goals in the next five minutes.

Atletico Madrid have been so far off the pace tonight. This is surely the night their hopes of winning La Liga died. They were already rather slim, but there's no coming back from this.

That's a tactical change from Villarreal. They have taken off Pato, a striker, and put on a defender.

SHOT FROM GRIEZMANN! A clever short freekick frees up some space for the French striker inside the area, but Griezmann's effort is charged down before it could reach the goal.

The touch from Gameiro wasn't good enough. The French striker was played into the right hand channel, but Costa came across to make the challenge. Illustratuve of his night.

In contrast to that, Villarreal have been extremely well drilled all over the pitch. Add to that the match winning quality they boast and this has been a real test for Atletico Madrid. One they look set to fail.

There's a real lack of structure to this Atletico Madrid team at the moment and that's a surprise. We haven't seen that before under Simeone, but it has been the case over the past few weeks.
