Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is delighted to be top of the table after their 3-2 defeat of Eibar.

After Los Rojiblancos were saved by substitute Thomas Partey, who scored late on to give his side a 3-2 win over Eibar, Simeone reflected on the fact that his team are top of the table.

"There's a lot of responsibility and new people and we are having to rebuild the team," Simeone said.

"We want to win, win and win again."

While the performance against Eibar left a lot to be desired, Simeone pointed to his team's spirit.

"When you win 3-2, you make mistakes," he admitted.

"The most important thing is to regain your feet after suffering a blow.

"After the first 20 minutes, we began to steady ourselves."

Simeone played an especially crucial part in the win, substituting off Joao Felix for match-winner Thomas Partey.

"I know the risks when it comes to making substitutions," Simeone said.

"I saw that Joao Felix was tired, and I knew Thomas Partey has the power to go forward.

"What some may consider defensive changes can be attacking too."
