Antoine Griezmann netted to encourage Atletico Madrid fight to a 2-0 La Liga triumph at Valencia, notwithstanding prior seeing his punishment spared.
Energetic to inspire new mentor Cesare Prandelli, who was sitting in the stands at Mestalla, Valencia by and by gambled rout when Nani cut down Blessed messenger Correa in the range.
Griezmann ventured up to take the spot-kick just to miss his second of the week and the third in succession for Atleti, with punishment sparing master Diego Alves sparing his shot.
The Frenchman would in the end beat Alves in the second half after he turned home a bounce back, however there was still time for the Brazilian to strikingly spare another punishment from Gabi.
His heroics – which saw him take his count of punishment recoveries to a record 18 – were futile, be that as it may, as Kevin Gameiro netted in stoppage time to send Los Rojiblancos away with each of the three focuses.
Griezmann was obviously Atleti's most exuberant assaulting outlet at an early stage and the forward stung the palms of Alves with a furious 25-yard drive.
Valencia, who had offered small going ahead, then delighted in a spell of weight and previous Atleti midfielder Suarez twisted a left-foot shot wide from the edge of the crate.

Valencia presented Santi Mina at the break and the pacy winger verging on had a quick effect when he weighed down on Jan Oblak's objective, just to be denied by Lucas Hernandez's radiant last-pant challenge.
Be that as it may, Atleti led the pack in the 63rd moment when their two substitutes consolidated well, with Torres dashing onto Yannick Carrasco's through-ball.
In spite of the fact that his shot crosswise over objective was spared by Alves, Gameiro reused the ball to Griezmann, who pounded high into the Valencia net.
More show was to finish when Gameiro dashed one-on-one just to be thwarted by Alves, yet from the subsequent Suarez was punished for a rough stumble on Griezmann.
Alves at the end of the day acted the hero, this time jumping low to one side to palm away Gabi's poor exertion.
The veteran then hit the post with a low drive from separation, before Valencia ought to have reestablished equality when the unmarked Eliaquim Mangala headed Zakaria Bakkali's pin-point cross directly at Oblak.
Also, Atleti ensured the focuses in extra time when Gameiro hustled into the territory before cutting inside Aderlan Santos and boring low past Alves.
