Thomas Lemar drove in a 99th-minute winner as Atletico Madrid came from behind to beat Espanyol 2-1 on Sunday and ensure Antoine Griezmann’s first game back with the club ended with a victory. Lemar struck in the ninth of 10 minutes of added time to sink an exhausted Espanyol and give La Liga’s reigning champions a third victory from their opening four games.
Griezmann was replaced by Joao Felix in the 58th minute, an underwhelming return for the Frenchman. Yannick Carrasco was the catalyst, firing in with 11 minutes left of normal time before Lemar completed a comeback by surging through midfield and finishing into the far corner.
