We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Diego Simeone needs Alexander Sørloth on the pitch! The Norwegian international striker is heavily linked to exit Madrid, but still delivers one goal after another. On Sunday, the 30-year-old headed in a match-winning goal, a goal that sends Sørloth to the top of the statistics for “barons of the air”.
At the beginning of the month, Sørloth gave points to Atletico Madrid with a goal in the 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad, on Sunday the Norwegian international striker was again on the front, this time with a match-winning 1-0 score against Alaves in the 48th minute in front of wild Atletico supporters, who love their Norwegian Viking.

According to the statistics agency Opta, there are no players in La Liga with more goals with their heads than Sørloth.
