Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has been criticised by some supporters for his reaction to Fernando Torres putting his side 1-0 up againstLeganes.


The 25-year-old missed yet another spot-kick on Saturday, it was his fifth penalty miss in his last 10 efforts, and the striker'sdisappointment was clear to see as he looked dejected while his teammates wheeled off in celebration.

The Frenchman stood on the six-yard line putting his head back slowly despite his side going a goal ahead.


Atletico were in desperate need of a win as it kept their place in the top-four, with Real Sociedad snapping at their heels just one point behind.
