ATLETICO Madrid bounced back from an embarrassing midweek defeat with a 4-0 victory at Valladolid in the Spanish league on Saturday.
Jose Antonio Reyes found Jose Manuel Jurado for the 16th-minute opener before the former Arsenal winger sent a low shot through a crowd for the third in the 58th. Diego Forlan scored from a break in the 32nd and late substitute Sergio Aguero completed the rout in the 90th as Atletico rallied from Wednesday's 0-3 Copa del Rey loss to second-division Recreativo Huelva.
"I'm very happy my players reacted," coach Quique Sanchez Flores said. "We played with intelligence."
Sanchez Flores, who publicly lambasted his players following the Copa loss, said his team needed to build on its most complete performance of the season.
"We couldn't continue playing as badly as we have been playing," he said. "We've got good players who will grow in confidence after this win and who will take advantage going forward."
Almeria drew 1-1 at Villarreal and teenage midfielder Sergio Canales showed why he was being coveted in Europe after scoring both goals to lead Racing Santander to a 2-1 win over Sevilla.
Impressive buildup play put Canales clear through on goal in the 26th and the 18-year-old forward calmly strode into the area before lobbing goalkeeper Andres Palop.
Canales then showed excellent control in the 38th, using a stepover to go past Palop before cutting back to score again, his fourth goal of the season. Real Madrid, Sevilla and English clubs are reportedly interested in the Spain Under-19 international.
