Griezmann ties Atletico record

Atletico Madrid failed to make history of its own on a night Antoine Griezmann tied Luis Aragones as the club's all-time top scorer.

Griezmann scored twice on Tuesday to tie Aragones on 173 goals, but Atletico conceded a stoppage-time equalizer in a 3-3 draw with Getafe that ended the club's record-tying 20-game home winning streak.

Borja Mayoral converted a late penalty kick to help Getafe rally from two goals down against 10-man Atletico, which was trying to win 21 in a row at home in all competitions for the first time ever. It had last won 20 consecutive matches as a host in 2013.

Getafe had handed Diego Simeone's team its last setback at home in a 1-1 league draw in February.

"In the end I wanted the three points, it's a shame," Griezmann said.

Griezmann scored his 172nd goal with Atletico in the 44th minute and then tied Aragones' record by converting a 69th-minute penalty.

Atletico's fans chanted Griezmann's and Aragones' names after the France forward hit the top corner with a right-footed shot from the penalty spot at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

"Incredibly happy for a player who is part of the club's history," Simeone said. "He always gives everything for the club and is a very important player for us."

Aragones reached his mark in 370 matches, while Griezmann needed 364 games with the club.

The draw lifted Atletico to third place in the league standings after 17 matches. Girona remains the surprise leader with 44 points, two more than second-place Real Madrid.
