Getafe 0-2 Atletico Madrid:Llorente and Partey secure comfortable win for Simeone's men

-
Marcos Llorente and Thomas Partey gave Atletico Madrid a comfortable 2-0 win at Getafe on Thursday to keep Diego Simeone's team on course for a third place finish in Laliga Santander.

Getafe were wasteful in the first half and those misses came back to haunt them as Marcos Llorente scored eight minutes after the break from 20 yards out.

Partey added a second goal when he tapped in from close range after a counter attack with 10 minutes left to play.

Getafe had Allan Nyon sent off late for a high challenge as the deafeat dented their chances of securing an Europa League place.

With an entirely new back four, Atleti's defence looked vulnerable and they were lucky not to be behind after an impressive Getafe first half display.

Jaime Mata had three good chances in quick succession early on as he lifted a shot over the bar, saw an effort hooked off the line by Felipe and miscued a close range shot. 

Atleti's best opportunity of the first half as he got on the end of Llorente's cross, but the striker could only guide his header over the crossbar.

The same combination linked up again three minutes into the second half but Costa again failed to hit the target from a central position following Llorente's cut back.

Llorente took matters into his own hands as he turned Getafe's David Timor on the edge of the box then wrong footed David Soria with a low shot into the corner.

Partey made sure of the points when he guided the ball home after a quick counter attack, and then Allan Nyom was sent off in stoppage time for the hosts.

What's next?
Atletico host Real Sociedad on Sunday, while Getafe travel to Levante in Gameweek 38.

Bournemouth 0-2 Southampton:Danny Ings score as the loss leaves Cherries on the brink of relegation

Danny Ings scored his 21st Premier League goal of the season as Southampton defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at the Vitality Stadium.  Ings scored with a good finish in tge 41st minute as he put glitters to sweeping Saints counter attack.  He had a chance to double his side's lead, but he sent a tame shot that was saved by Aaron Ramsdale, after Harry Wilson handled in the box. Bournemouth thought they had equalised through Sam Surridge, only for VAR to judge that Callum Wilson was in an offside position whilst also interfering with play, before Substitute Che Adams hit the final nail in the coffin to almost certainly dash Bournemouth's hopes of staying up. Eddie Howe's men are three points from safety with a trip to Everton still to come. Survival on goal difference is the best they can hope for, as 17th placed Watford will condemn the Cherries to the 2nd division for next season, if and only if they can claim a point from one of their last two games with matches agains...

Chelsea have confirmed that they will play in Champions League next season as goals from Mason Mount and Olivier Giroud sealed a 2-0 win on the final day of the Premier League season. Although the Blues had a sluggish start to the game, but two goals in first half stoppage time. First, through a brilliant Mason Mount free kick, before Giroud doubled the lead a short while later. Although the first half of the match was highly devoid of action until a wonderful Mason Mount free kick goal. While, Christian Pulisic and Mason Mount combined to set up Giroud, before he rounded Rui Patricio and held off Conor Coady before scoring into an empty net. Diogo Jota brought out a save from Willy Caballero just before the hour. But the Blues were hardly troubled as they held on to 4th position in the league in Lampard's first season in charge.
