Watch: Griezmann scores 30th goal of season to push Atletico top of La Liga

Antoine Griezmann reached the 30-goal plateau in style Saturday after bulging the back of the net moments after entering the Atletico Madrid's match against Rayo Vallecano as a second-half substitute.

The French forward took advantage of a poor clearance before storming towards goal and firing his shot with the outside of his boot into the bottom corner of the net.

The goal, Griezmann's 30th in all competitions, was enough for a 1-0 win, and put Atletico ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona to claim top spot in La Liga. Barca will attempt to usurp Diego Simeone's men later in the day when the Catalans visit Real Betis.
