It wasn't pretty, but Yannick Carrasco marked his first start in over a month with a goal to lift Atletico Madrid to a 2-0 lead over Eibar.

The goal also happened to be the 500th in all competitions since Diego Simeone was appointed Atletico Madrid manager.

It was Carrasco's first start since Dec. 17. He missed time dealing with an Achilles injury.
