Fantastic save by Oblak! Atletico's clean sheet is all but preserved thanks to a great piece of goalkeeping from the Slovenian, who gets down low to his left and brilliantly saves a first-time half-volley from Bustinza. That looked set for the back of the net!
90' +1
Amrabat, who is now operating over on the left flank, sprints into a decent pocket of space before sending a cross into the penalty area, where it finds Ramos. The winger quickly shoots, but his strike is easily closed down and fails to trouble Oblak.
90'
The fourth official has indicated that there will be just one minute of added time.
89'
Atletico are caught with several bodies up the pitch, allowing Leganes to break forward on a rare counter-attack. It's Guerrero who charges into the box and tries to shoot, but he holds onto the ball for slightly too long and is dispossessed before he can do so.
88'
Atletico win themselves a corner over on the right wing, and it's one they send short to Koke. Vitolo makes a good run into the penalty area and tries to latch onto a deft forward pass, but he can't quite reach it in time and Leganes hold on.
86'
Unai Bustinza gets yellow.
There's been another booking for a Leganes player, and this time it's Bustinza whose name is taken by the referee. He caught Luis with a cynical challenge after being rounded by the marauding full-back.
84'
Sloppy play by Leganes allows Atletico to pick up possession inside the visitors' half of the pitch and break forward, where, once again, a poor tackle on Vitolo results in a free-kick.
82'
Omar Ramos gets yellow.
Vitolo wriggles away from his marker out wide and quickly sprints down the left wing. It looks as if he's going to be able to get himself into a good position to cross, but he's clumsily fouled from behind by Ramos before he's able to do so and the referee's yellow card is out once again.
81'
Amrabat tries to carve out some space for himself deep down the right flank after bursting forward on a decent run, but Godin rushes out of the box and does well to deal with the on-loan winger with a sliding interception.
79'
Torres is clumsily caught as he breaks towards the box, leaving the referee with no choice but to award Atletico a free-kick in a dangerous position 30 yards away from goal. It's Koke who steps up and shoots, but he drags his effort a few yards wide of the near post.
Minute
Description
77'
Leganes work the ball from one flank to the other before Garcia eventually curls a cross into the heart of the penalty area, but it's sent too near to Oblak and is easily collected by the goalkeeper.
76'
Leganes are presented with a rare opportunity to try and test Oblak after making good progress down the right wing, but Ramos' swinging cross is a poor one and easily headed away by the home side.
73'
Fernando Torres enters the game and replaces Diego Costa.
K. Gameiro enters the game and replaces A. Griezmann.
Costa has made way for Torres in the home side's second substitution of the night.
And Griezmann receives a standing ovation from the Atletico fans as he makes his way off the pitch. Gameiro will come on to replace him.
72'
Godin thinks he's made it 5-0, but the linesman's flag is raised! An Atletico corner is dealt with but bounces out to Griezmann, who fires a lovely cross over to the far post and sets up Godin to tap in from close range. The defender's celebrations are short-lived, though, as the linesman's flag immediately - and correctly - rises.
71'
What a chance for Costa to make it 5-0! The Spain international is set up by a beautiful through-ball and only has Cuellar to beat, but his close-range strike is somehow tipped over the crossbar by the onrushing goalkeeper.
69'
A. Griezmann gets yellow.
Griezmann now has a yellow card to add to his four goals after cynically fouling Mozo from behind as the substitute burst forward.
67'
A. Griezmann has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid! Assist by Diego Costa.
This time it was Costa who put the ball on a plate for Griezmann. Those two really have got a wonderful understanding.
GOAL! Griezmann just can't stop scoring! Once again, a lovely cross is fired into the Leganes penalty area and perfectly picks out Griezmann, whose first-time volley wrong foots Cuellar and finds the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
Another good piece of play from Leganes results in a free-kick in a promising position out wide. It's swung into the middle of the Atletico box and picks out Bustinza, but the defender can't guide his header towards goal and sends it over the top of the crossbar.
65'
Amrabat, who has looked decent since coming off the substitutes' bench, races down the right wing on another good run, but this time Saul is there to dispossess him with a well-timed sliding tackle.
63'
Leganes aren't quite able to deal with the danger on the edge of their own penalty area and allow a loose ball to bounce into the path of Costa, but the striker can't quite get on the end of it due to good goalkeeping from Cuellar.
62'
An attempted Atletico attacking move fails to come to anything, allowing Leganes to counter-attack quickly. Amrabat does really well to charge forward before teeing up Ramos inside the box, but the winger is poor on the ball and easily dispossessed before he can shoot.
60'
Vitolo enters the game and replaces T. Partey.
Atletico have made their first alteration of the night, with Vitolo coming on to take the place of Thomas.
58'
Leganes patiently pass the ball around inside the Atletico half of the pitch as they try to find a way back into the game, but a misplaced cross from Ramos sails out of play for a throw-in after failing to find a team-mate. That rather sums up their night so far.
56'
A. Griezmann has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid! Assist by Filipe Luís.
José Naranjo enters the game and replaces Eraso.
GOAL! It's another hat-trick for Griezmann! Luis is left in acres of space out wide, allowing him to burst down the left wing and swing a delightful cross into the penalty area. It finds Griezmann, who rises high and beats Cuellar with an excellent header. He's on fire!
Leganes have made their third and final alteration, with Eraso making way for Naranjo.
Griezmann's header may have been a brilliantly placed one, but Luis' cross was just as good. He put the ball on a plate for the striker with an inch-perfect delivery.
55'
Leganes are struggling to get into the game in central areas, where Atletico are dominating. The home side are pressing well, and it's really causing their opponents a lot of problems.
53'
Gerard Gumbau gets yellow.
Gumbau caught Luis with a late sliding challenge in the build-up to Atletico's last chance on goal, and he's eventually shown a yellow card for the mistimed tackle.
52'
Thumping strike by Amrat! The substitute does well to make a bit of room for himself in the middle of the pitch after spinning round his marker and shooting, but Oblak is equal to the effort and pushes it behind for a corner.
51'
Good defending by Munoz! A looping cross is blasted into the middle of the visitors' box and picks out Costa, who chests the ball down, spins and looks set to shoot. He isn't able to do so, though, as Munoz is there muscle the striker off the ball at the vital moment.
50'
Correa showcases lovely footwork as he dances his way towards the Leganes penalty area. He then tries to set up Koke with a deft pass, but he slightly underhits his ball forward and fails to find his man.
48'
Costa and Griezmann link up really well on the edge of the Leganes box before the Spain international lifts a deft pass back to his strike partner. The Frenchman looks set to shoot, but he has the ball flicked away at the last possible moment.
46'
Mozo enters the game and replaces Gabriel Pires.
N. Amrabat enters the game and replaces Diego Rico.
We're underway once again!
Leganes have decided to make a double change during the break. The first player to come on is Amrabat, who replaces Rico.
And the second is Mozo, with Appelt making way.
45'
Good play between Correa and Juanfran deep down the right flank sets up the full-back to cut a pass back towards Griezmann, who looks set to pull the trigger from inside the box but is beaten to the ball before he's able to do so.
44'
Costa makes a clever run into the right-hand side of the Leganes box as he tries to latch onto a forward pass from Gimenez, and he does well to win his side a throw-in. It's taken quickly and sent to Correa, who tries to muscle his way into the penalty area but can't get the better of Rico.
42'
It's proving to be a comfortable end to the first half for Atletico, who are patiently passing the ball around the Leganes half of the pitch without too many problems. The visitors started well but have had their confidence understandably knocked by the two goals they've conceded.
40'
Chance for Gimenez! Koke swings a wonderful cross into the heart of the penalty area that perfectly picks out the Gimenez in a pocket of space, but the defender can't quite make decent contact with the ball and his glancing effort is sent wide of the goal.
39'
Almost another hat-trick for Griezmann! He sprints into the Leganes box and latches onto a clever pass ahead of Cuellar. The striker then tries to chip a deft shot over the goalkeeper, but it's the latter who comes out on top with a smart save.
37'
Juanfran finds himself in a good position midway down the right wing and quickly picks out Correa on the edge of the penalty area. The Argentine pulls off a quick one-two with Koke and looks set to shoot, but he's dispossessed by a wonderful tackle before he's able to do so.
35'
A. Griezmann has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid!
GOAL! What a strike by Griezmann! After spending an absolute age eyeing up his target, the Frenchman steps up and curls a beautiful shot straight into the top left-hand corner of the net. Sublime!
33'
A lovely turn from Koke sets him up to break into the Leganes box, but he's clumsily caught by Gumbau as he tries to do so and Atletico are awarded a free-kick in a very dangerous position. Can they make it count?
31'
Leganes did well to carve out a couple of decent chances on goal but they're struggling to string together passes at the moment. Good pressure from Atletico has forced the visitors into pumping hopeful longballs forward.
29'
Atletico are almost set up with another great opportunity to make it 2-0 after Griezmann and Costa link up wonderfully just outside of the visitors' penalty area, but the Spain international loses his footing at the last possible moment and can't quite get a shot away.
28'
A Koke free-kick is fired towards the edge of the Leganes box and manages to pick out Gimenez. The centre-back rises high and latches onto the ball, but he can't nod it onto a team-mate and the attacking move is snuffed out.
26'
A. Griezmann has scored a goal for Atletico Madrid! Assist by Koke.
That really was a sublime piece of play by Koke. Leganes were caught with slightly too many players up the pitch and were made to pay by a lightning quick counter-attack.
GOAL! Atletico have taken the lead! The Frenchman bagged a hat-trick last time out and now has another goal to his name. A lovely pass is fired through the middle of the Leganes defence and towards Griezmann, who storms into the box and side-foots a lovely strike past Cuellar.
24'
And now Correa goes close! Space opens up just outside of the Leganes penalty area and allows him to get a shot away, but it isn't hit cleanly enough to beat Cuellar and the visitors are able to keep the scoreline goalless.
22'
Gumbau hits the crossbar! Now both sides have smashed the woodwork! A wonderful curling strike from 30 yards beat Oblak and looked set for the back of the net, but it flew into the crossbar before it could do so. What a goal that would have been!
20'
It's all Atletico at the moment as they continue dominating possession. They aren't quite able to carve out a chance on goal, however, as Juanfran's cross from deep down the right flank is poor and sails behind for a goal-kick.
18'
Costa wins a corner for Atletico. Godin's headed effort is blocked and it's out for another corner. Once again it's sent into a decent position inside the penalty area, but Leganes have enough bodies back to deal with the danger.
17'
OFF THE BAR! Griezmann takes the free-kick and sends a curling effort against the woodwork. Great effort, but Leganes survive!
16'
Free-kick to Atletico in a dangerous area as Correa is tripped by Munoz just outside the box.
15'
STAT: Atletico are unbeaten in their last 14 LaLiga games at home (W10 D4), keeping nine clean sheets and not conceding more than one goal in the other five games.
14'
That was a real scare for Atletico, who have otherwise bossed the early stages. Leganes will hope to take some confidence from creating that opportunity, and they are beginning to look more comfortable now.
11'
SO CLOSE! Leganes miss a golden chance to take the lead against the run of play. From six yards out, Eraso is completely unmarked as he latches on to a deep cross from Pires, but he mistimes his volley and fires wide.
10'
Filipe makes good ground down the left as Atletico re-assert control, but his in-swinging cross is headed to safety by Munoz.
8'
First chance for Leganes! Guerrero heads just over Oblak's bar after latching on to a right-wing cross from Bustinza. Some encouragement for the visitors.
7'
Atletico are comfortable in possession, with Leganes struggling to put a pattern of play together and already resorting to long balls forward from defence to relieve the pressure.
4'
Correa has an effort blocked at the edge of the Leganes box as Atletico continue to make most of the early running.
2'
Another effort from Atletico, but this one does not threaten Cuellar's goal as Koke slices well wide from 25 yards.
1'
CLOSE! Atletico waste no time pressing forward and Costa has a left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area saved by Cuellar inside 12 seconds.
We are under way!
Hello and welcome to our live commentary of Atletico Madrid v Leganes in LaLiga.
Atletico are looking to move within four points of LaLiga leaders Barcelona, who do not face Las Palmas until tomorrow.
STAT: Atletico will be confident of victory here, given Leganes have not won in their last nine LaLiga away games (D3 L6), failing to score in six of them.
Leganes gave their opponents a few scares with some decent early chances but it's Atletico who head into the half-time break in full control thanks to two great goals from Griezmann. One more will see the Frenchman pick up back-to-back hat-tricks, and the way things are currently going, that certainly looks to be a real possibility.
The two teams are making their way back out onto the pitch ahead of the second half.
FULL-TIME: ATLETICO MADRID 4-0 LEGANES
In the end it was a comfortable evening for Atletico, who easily ran the show thanks to a wonderful performance from Griezmann. The Frenchman was on fire from start to finish, and he was able to leave with four more goals to his name after enjoying a brilliant night. Leganes started well but struggled as soon as Atletico went 1-0 up, and from then onwards it never looked likely that they were going to get back into the game.
