'Mason Greenwood hurt us a lot' - Antoine Griezmann admits Atletico Madrid 'couldn't stop' Man Utd loanee after Diego Simeone's side blow two-goal lead against Getafe in dying minutes

Griezmann praised Greenwood after the forward shone again for Getafe in a dramatic 3-3 draw against Atletico Madrid in La Liga. Diego Simeone's side looked all set for victory after going 3-1 up, with Griezmann scoring twice to draw level with Luis Aragones as Atletico's all-time top scorer. The hosts also took control of the game despite losing Stefan Savic to a red card in the first half, but were denied all three points when Getafe struck twice late on to rescue a draw at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

Griezmann told DAZN: "It's a shame because we had made a great effort with ten.It's a shame that Savic makes two fouls and gets two yellow cards.In the end you hold on... Greenwood hurt us a lot, we couldn't stop him at the end of the game and two goals came."

Greenwood's performance follows on from another effective showing last time out against Sevilla. The Manchester United loanee bagged a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win for Getafe. The Liga side have already made it clear they want Greenwood to stay on a permanent basis, although Manchester United are not expected to make a decision on his future until the spring.

Greenwood has started 11 of Getafe's 18 La Liga games this season and will be aiming to continue in the side as he bids to resurrect his career with Jose Bordalas's men. The forward could end up staying in La Liga even if he does not continue with Getafe. La Liga champions Barcelona have been linked with a move for the Manchester United loanee, while Real Sociedad and Valencia have also been credited with an interest in the forward.
