Thomas Partey was on target for Atletico Madrid in their 3-0 win over Huesca in La Liga at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday night.

Antoine Griezmann fetched the opener for the Rojiblanco in the 16th minute after dominating the early minute of the encounter.

Partey gave the hosts the cushioning with a long range drive into the bottom left in the 29th minute before Koke wrapped up the victory four minutes later.

Partey lasted the entire duration of the match.

The win propelled Diego Simeone’s men to 3rd on the log with 11 points after six matches.

The goal was Partey’s first of the season and he was happy with his and the team’s efforts on the night.

“I am the kind of player who can play in any position and get to the opponent’s area to try and get a goal. We did a good job tonight and we need to keep going in that direction.”

Partey’s exertions were enough to get him the Man of the Match prize as stated by the club’s Twitter handle.
