It's safe to say Diego Simeone was a bit excited Sunday when Antoine Griezmann's dramatic goal lifted Atletico Madrid past Sporting Gijon.
After the French striker instinctively put a header past the Gijon 'keeper in the final minute of stoppage time to give the hosts a 1-0 win, the manager couldn't contain himself as he ran up and down the sideline, pumping his fists and screaming with joy toward fans at the Vicente Calderon.

The victory propels Atletico back into the top three of La Liga, as the 2013 champion trails Barcelona by two points and sits four off of Real Madrid's league-leading 27 points.
