Last update 10 December, 2012 by Julio Muñoz

Atlético de Madrid has atoned for the defeat in the Madrid derby and in the Europa League with a resounding victory before visiting the Camp Nou on the next matchday in which the absolute protagonist has been the 'tiger'’ Falcao scoring five goals.

The Colombian led Atlético de Madrid's reaction and struck down Deportivo de La Coruña (6-0) which sealed the twelfth victory for the red and white team in this League season. The red and white team does not lose its intractable status this season at the Vicente Calderón. He has won everything at home, his eight league games, his three European commitments and his Copa del Rey duel, an impeccable career that today reinforced its position at the heights of the classification: is second for the eleventh day.

The offensive demonstration destroyed Deportivo, who left Vicente Calderón with a new defeat, the fourth in his last five games, surpassed by Atlético's attacking power, who pocketed the victory, the best response to their previous two defeats in the derby against Real Madrid and in the Europa League.

And that, start, Deportivo did not wrinkle, that arrived at the bottom of the table and in the box due to the losses in its defense, with Pablo Insua and the Portuguese Roderick Jefferson as center backs - between the two they had three duels this League -, but the incontestable local punch knocked him down midway through the first half of the match.

The first ones were nothing alike 20 minutes to the rest of the crash, because the duel started balanced, with the red and white team, he was uncomfortable and worried about the deployment of his rival, good in pressure, in the combination and in attack, although with chances for Atlético, guided by the drive of Diego Costa. “I love”, said Argentine Diego Simeone on the eve of the Brazilian attacker, after a difficult week for the striker, with expulsion included last Thursday in the Europa League. Diego Costa responded to his coach's confidence from the minute 1, with speed and with 1-0 (m. 23), when heading a Koke corner.

His goal launched Atlético. Deportivo did not give up immediately, who came close to the tie with a beautiful header, manual, by Juan Carlos Valerón, that went to the post, But the 2-0, five minutes later, directed by Koke's vision of the game and executed by Falcao, It did break any resistance of the A Coruña team.

Even more the 3-0 (m. 41), again with the Colombian attacker as the only protagonist. Score goals from any action. This time it was from a throw-in. He let it bounce and hit a powerful right hand from the corner of the area.. One more goal in his account in less than a year and a half as a rojiblanco, already for the 55 many, 20 this campaign.

There was no longer any match with 50 minutes ahead. Just one step towards Atlético's victory, that prolonged his dominance and increased his victory, with Falcao infallible on the opposing goal, with two more targets, one penalty (4-0, m. 64) and another head (5-0, m. 68), to increase the very harsh punishment for Deportivo.

And Falcao still needed another goal. He caught the ball inside the area, He went around an opponent and sent his shot into the back of the net. The fifth of your personal account, the sixth of his team, that reaffirms his strength a week after his visit to the Camp Nou, the next test in this League for an Atlético that aims very high in this campaign.
