Torres reaches century, Atletico keeps pressure on Barca
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 07 - 02 - 2016

Fernando Torres scored his 100th Atletico Madrid goal as Los Rojiblancos came from behind to move level on points with Barcelona at the top of La Liga thanks to a 3-1 win over Eibar Saturday.

Central defensive pairing Jose Maria Gimenez and Saul Niguez headed home corners after Keko had fired Eibar into a shock lead just after half-time before Torres ended a five-month goal drought in stoppage time.

Barca, which has two games in hand on Atletico, travels to face Levante Sunday.

Atletico's first win in five games also opens up a four-point lead over third-placed Real Madrid, which is also in action on Sunday away at Granada.

Diego Simeone's men were without four defenders as Diego Godin, Filipe Luis and Juanfran were all suspended from last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Barcelona, whilst Stefan Savic was injured.

Dortmund stumbles
to goalless draw at Hertha
Borussia Dortmund gave Bayern Munich a chance to extend its lead on top of the Bundesliga after the second-placed club settled for a drab 0-0 draw at Hertha Berlin Saturday.

Dortmund, on 45 points and seven behind Bayern which takes on Bayer Leverkusen later Saturday, was lacking its attacking form of recent weeks despite the return of midfielder Marco Reus and playmaker Ilkay Guendogan.
Schalke 04 made it two wins in a row when it beat VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 to move up to fourth spot on 33 points.
VfB Suttgart made it four wins in a row when they crushed struggling Eintracht Frankfurt 4-2 to move further away from the relegation zone they had occupied for much of the season and into 11th place on 24 points.
Both teams were left with 10 players after Stuttgart scorer Daniel Didavi was given his marching orders for a second booking in the 67th minute while Eintracht Frankfurt's Carlos Zambrano was sent off eight minutes later.
