There goes the final whistle. A 3-0 win for Atletico. All very comfortable in the end. Diego Simeone's side back on top of the table before Barcelona and Real Madrid's matches.
We are into two minutes of time added on.
Courtois happy to take his time before launching the goalkkick down the park. Almost time up in this match.
Courtois clearly fouled by Osorio as he crashed into the Atletico goalkeeper.
A booking for Pena after he was late in trying to win the ball from Diego.
Diego Costa appeals for a penalty after Valiente seemed to handle the ball as he went to ground. But referee wasn't interested.
Godin breaks down the park for the home side, but he can't test Marino as the shot flies well wide of the target.
Victor Perez has collected a booking for a late challenge. Obvious yellow card offence.
Javi Guerra has departed the scene for the visitors to be replaced by Manucho for Valladolid.
Insua knocks the ball out of play. A corner coming up for the visitors. Rossi's corner is knocked away by the home defence.
Koke departs the scene to be replaced by Jose Sosa.
Rubio limping a bit after taking a dull one. He is back on his feet. A change coming for the visitors.
A fine recovery this from Atletico after their recent struggles. Valladolid going to remain stuck in the relegation zone. Can see why on this evidence.
Another change coming then for the home side as Arda Turan is replaced by David Villa for Atletico.
GOAL! Godin this time on hand to make it three with a header from the Diego corner. All too easy. And that secures the win.
Juanfran with a superb interception. Larsson was about to pull the trigger there with Courtois to beat, but an excellent late tackle saves the day.
Turan cuts inside and looks to set up Koke for the finish, but he hesitates as the visitors are allowed to clear the danger.
Atletico now up to 11 shots on target with Valladolid managing three throughout these 65 minutes or so.
Rossi taken out later by Koke as he tried to gallop over the halfway line. Not a bad foul to concede with Valladolid trying to hit on the break.
Suarez hits the bar from the Koke corner with a header. So unfortunate. So close to a third goal for Atletico. Marino nowhere to be seen as the ball was hurled into the home area.
