MADRID - Antoine Griezmann was Atletico Madrid's hero once more with the winner as last season's Champions League finalists moved third in La Liga with a 1-0 win over 10-man Deportivo la Coruna. Atletico passed up a host of chances in the second half, but finally made the breakthrough 20 minutes from time when Griezmann tapped home his fifth goal of the season. Griezmann had the hosts' best chance of a first half disrupted by the injuries to Fernandez and Gimenez when he slotted wide from Angel Correa's cross. Alexander Szymanowski headed the hosts into the lead, but Nani levelled with his first Valencia goal 10 minutes before half-time. Yet Alves produced his 20th save from 43 penalties he's faced in Spanish football to ensure Valencia's second win in four days.
