Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey was in fine form once again as his side Atletico Madrid beat Leganes 4-0 in a La Liga game on Wednesday, February 28.

Partey started the game in midfield alongside Saul Niguez.

Despite his brilliant display, it was striker Antoine Griezmann who stole the show as he scored all four goals.

The France striker slid in an opener from Koke's pass, curled home a free-kick, headed another and mis-hit Diego Costa's cross for his fourth.

He also hit the woodwork and had a goal disallowed.

Atletico are four points behind Barca, who visit Las Palmas on Thursday.
