Atletico Madrid forward Alvaro Morata celebrates scoring

Alvaro Morata now has five goals in five La Liga games this season for Atletico Madrid

Alvaro Morata scored twice as Atletico Madrid ended Real Madrid's 100% start to the La Liga season with a fine victory over their city rivals.

They led inside four minutes when former Real forward Morata converted Samuel Lino's dangerous cross.

Antoine Griezmann then made it 2-0 with another header, before Toni Kroos' fine low strike halved the deficit.

But Morata sealed Atletico's victory when he rose highest to meet Saul Niguez's ball in after the break.
