Koke scored the pick of the goals as Atletico Madrid saw off Girona 3-0, with substitutes Conor Gallagher and Antoine Griezmann also on target.
Conor Gallagher and Antoine Griezmann were also on target at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, as Diego Simeone's side returned to third place in LaLiga.
The visitor took the lead in the 13th minute as the ball broke kindly for Koke, who arrowed a superb 25-yard strike into the top-left corner for his 50th goal for Atletico.
Jan Oblak came to the rescue at the other end to deny former Atletico man Axel Witsel's volley, before Atleti doubled its advantage in the 38th minute.
Gallagher, 10 minutes after replacing the injured Nico Gonzalez, saw his 20-yard effort deflect beyond Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga via Vitor Reis.
Oblak made another smart save after the break to deny Alex Moreno, but Los Rojiblancos secured the victory in the second minute of stoppage time, as substitute Griezmann neatly slid home his fourth goal in three games.
