Antoine Griezmann ended his LaLiga goal drought as Atletico Madrid moved into the top four with a 2-0 victory at Eibar.

The Basques shaded the first half and came closest to scoring when Adrian Gonzalez brought a fine save from Miguel Angel Moya.

But Atletico improved after the break and Saul Niguez met Filipe Luis' 54th-minute cross with a wonderful header, although Eibar felt he was in an offside position.

Substitute Kevin Gameiro then set up Griezmann's 74th-minute clincher as the France striker finished for his 11th goal of the season, but his first in the league since the start of October.

"At times in the first half our opponents were better than us," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said in his post-match press conference.

"Then in the second half we played again like we had at the beginning."
