Thomas Partey's late solitary strike claims win for Atletico Madrid

Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey scored a stoppage-time winner as Atletico Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 in the Spanish LaLiga at the Estadio do Raizor.

Just as it looked like Diego Simeone's men would continue a troubling run of form, Thomas beat Costel Pantilimon with an impressive curling strike when captain Gabi laid a free-kick into his path.

The late winner rescued the Rojiblancos, who were facing a fourth consecutive draw across all competitions after failing to create a clear goalscoring opportunity in regulation time.

Partey played full throttle of the game.
