Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey scored a screamer as his side Atletico Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 in a La Liga game on Saturday.



Atletico Madrid who were playing at the  Wanda Metropolitano needed inspiration from Partey to win the game.
The away side took the lead in the 36th minute when Inaki Williams nudged the ball across the line after team-mate Mikel San Jose had rattled the underside of the crossbar.

However, Partey restored parity in the 61st minute when he sent a long-range pile-driver into the net.

Williams quickly replied again to restore Athletic's lead, producing an ice-cool finish after racing on to a through ball by close friend Iker Muniain but Atletico midfielder Rodri levelled in the 80th minute by scoring his first goal for the club with a glancing header from a cross by Thomas Partey.

Diego Godin who remained on the pitch only because Atletico had made the maximum three substitutes, hobbled into the box to contest a late free-kick and sent the home fans wild by heading in the winning goal, initially ruled out for offside then awarded after consulting the video assistant referee.
