Spanish football enthusiasts have this season caught a handful of goals from Sørloth’s forehead. No one else in La Liga has scored so many with their heads, on Sunday it was more placement and flair that gave the Atletico supporters another goal from their Norwegian Viking.
In the previous La Liga round, Sørloth went with a match-winning goal against Alaves, on Sunday Marcos Llorente went with a hard shot, narrowly saved by the Mallorca goalkeeper with the rebound. And who is in the right place at the right time? Sørloth, of course. This was the 30-year-old’s 7th La Liga goal so far this season, with 4 of those goals coming in six games in 2026, with goals coming in the last three games in a row. This is the best form of scoring for Sørloth in the Atletico shirt according to Opta (scored in four games in a row for Villareal in September 2023). After the Sørloth goal, Atletico put in two goals for a 3-0 win and third place in La Liga.

Sørloth is still linked to exit Atletico Madrid, where the La Liga club is said to be open for sale, according to various Spanish media. We don’t understand how Diego Simeone can let go of this striker with what he calls extreme skills.
No wonder Premier League legend and Como coach Cesc Fabregas has Sørloth high on his wish list.
