Athletic Club produced a commanding second-half performance to beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 in their La Liga encounter on Saturday.
After a goalless first half, Athletic broke the deadlock just a minute after the restart when Nico Williams fired home to put the hosts ahead.
The Basque side quickly doubled their advantage in the 48th minute, with Roberto Navarro finishing from a move involving Iñaki Williams to leave Atletico facing an uphill battle.
Atletico struggled to find a response as Athletic maintained control and frustrated the visitors’ attacking efforts.
The hosts completed the rout in the 90th minute when Oihan Sancet added a third goal, sealing a comprehensive victory.
The result represents a disappointing outing for Atletico, who were unable to find the net despite going into the contest with ambitions of taking points away from San Mamés.
Athletic, meanwhile, will take significant confidence from the emphatic victory, particularly their clinical start to the second half and disciplined defensive display.
