Liga champions Atletico Madrid thrashed league leaders and
city rivals Real Madrid 4-0 in Los Blancos' heaviest defeat since losing 5-0 to
Barcelona in 2010.
Tiago and Saul Niguez gave the hosts a 2-0
half-time advantage at the Vicente Calderon in a five-minute spell.
Niguez's goal was particularly impressive as he put away a
spectacular bicycle kick.
Atletico danger men Antoine Griezmann and Mario Mandzukic turned the big result into a massive
hammering in the second period.
Though Real still lead the table with 54 points, Atletico are now third with 50
- the same as second-placed Barcelona, who can go one point behind Real if they
defeat Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
