Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone hails his side's "brilliant form" after their 5-2 win over Sevilla on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has hailed his side's "brilliant form" after their 5-2 win over Sevilla on Sunday.

Striker Antoine Griezmann scored a second-half hat-trick, while Diego Costa and Koke scored either side of the Frenchman to put the gloss on the win.

Simeone, whose side remain second in La Liga behind Barcelona, backed his side to continue in the same fashion going forward.

"The second-half performance was our best of the season," the coach told reporters after the game. "The team was strong, I knew what I had to do tactically. Sevilla have been doing really well with Vincenzo Montella, but we keep improving.

"[Griezmann] is very good, an extraordinary footballer. Everyone is currently in a brilliant run of form. We played good football and must continue in this way. The system was very well understood by the players.

"We gained a very important victory over Sevilla. [Our next rivals] Leganes will be a tough opponent, as they are strong defensively, but we have to once again play at a high level."

Atletico play Leganes at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday evening.
