Atletico Madrid v Espanyol - Live

He anticipates a pull back as he races towards the six-yard box, and fires a couple of yards over, much to Simeone's chagrin.

He's offside, but he reaches Griezmann's free kick at the back post, and heads just wide.

Morata was bursting down the middle to chase a long ball, but the defender drags him down and gets a straight red.

It comes out to Llorente, worked back to Carrasco for another cross, but he's offside.

No real chances in this match. It's a struggle to watch for the fans, too, who are booing.

Gimenez heads away after some work for a short corner.

He gets down easily to stop an underwhelming effort from Griezmann.

An effort from Joseul is stopped by Oblak, with no fans in behind him due to a protest.

Carrasco lines it up, and it's headed clear with the first of two from Braithwaite.

But they're quickly dispossessed.

A Griezmann sliding tackle injured him, but it was a fair challenge from the forward.

The striker shoots from 30 yards out, and he fizzes a low shot wide of the post.

Here we go.

They're 16th. A win could see them up to 12th, but it seems like it's another difficult season ahead for them.

A win for Diego Simeone's men will cut the gap on Real Madrid to six points, but Real have a game in hand, and Atletico will stay third.

Here's the rumours from yesterday's papers.
