La Liga round-up: Atletico Madrid beat Real Sociedad; Las Palmas win

Atletico Madrid built on their Madrid derby triumph by comfortably beating Real Sociedad 3-0 at the Vicente Calderon to record their biggest home league win of the season.

Diego Simeone's side took an eighth-minute lead through Diego Reyes' own goal, then Saul Niguez put them further at ease by volleying home a minute into the second half.

Former Sociedad forward Antoine Griezmann added the third from the penalty spot, converting for the first time from 12 yards in the Primera Division.

Atletico consolidate second place thanks to their second straight league win, moving five points behind Barcelona who play on Thursday, while La Real suffered a first defeat in six matches.

Despite playing a fourth game in just 10 days, Simeone made just one change from the team that won 1-0 at neighbours Real Madrid on Saturday, bringing in Luciano Vietto for Fernando Torres.

Buoyed by their derby win, Atletico began energetically, and Saul had the first effort of the game with less than two minutes gone, firing over the bar.

They went ahead a few minutes later, Reyes attempting to clear Koke's cross and instead hitting beyond his goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli who was waiting to scoop up the ball.

The visitors were limited to just one shot in the first half, a wayward attempt by Asier Illarramendi, while Atletico kept dominating after taking the lead and could have extended their advantage through Saul and Vietto, but had to be content with just the one goal before the break.

They got a second immediately after the re-start, the fruit of another defensive error from La Real and Atletico's attentive pressing game.

It was Griezmann who robbed the ball in the visitors' half after a lapse of concentration and he chipped over a pass for Vietto to chase to the byline and cut back into the box for Saul to comfortably volley home.

Atletico's third came from another individual error, even if Alberto de La Bella can consider himself unfortunate to be punished with a penalty for his soft challenge on Griezmann.

The Frenchman brushed himself off to take the penalty, putting previous missed penalties against Benfica and Real Madrid behind him to calmly send Rulli the wrong way and score.

Jonathas stuck a post and later missed the target as the final whistle approached, while Atletico substitute Angel Correa had a last-minute goal incorrectly ruled out for offside.

Elsewhere, Las Palmas thrashed relegation rivals Getafe 4-0, moving above their opponents to 15th in the table.

Willian José opened the scoring on seven minutes before Jonathan Viera doubled the lead from the penalty spot.

A second-half double from Tana sealed the victory which leaves Getafe just two points above the drop zone.
