It took a few games in the Atletico shirt before it really loosened up for Alexander Sørloth, but now the 28-year-old has shaken the “ketchup bottle out of the block”. One of the best coaches in the five biggest leagues, Diego Simeone, booked La Liga’s second-highest scoring player last season. The Norwegian Viking (the Spaniards love the Viking label) had hammered in 23 league goals for Villareal, now the Atletico coach gets as ordered.
In the last six La Liga games, the Norwegian striker has delivered 5 goals, the last one came in Saturday’s goal celebration against Real Valladolid. Sørloth started on the bench, came on in the 64th minute with a 4-0 lead to Atletico and scored the last goal of the game eight minutes before the end of the game.
