Griezmann guns down Elche as Atletico Madrid forward continues his fine form

Antoine Griezmann continued his splendid run of form with two more goals in Atletico Madrid's 3-0 win against Elche. 

The French international scored the first and third goals as Diego Simeone's side moved seven points clear of fourth place Valencia, who play Granada on Monday.

Raul Garcia scored the other in the win at the Vicente Calderon on Saturday. 

Griezmann, who signed from Real Sociedad last summer, has now scored eight goals in his last five league games

His total for the season in La Liga is now 22, just five less than Diego Costa managed last season -- and Griezmann doesn't take the penalties.

It's been an outstanding first season for the 24-year-old and it's not hard to see why he's being linked with clubs like Bayern Munich.

Atletico's first line of business this summer should be to make sure he goes nowhere.
