Antoine Griezmann scored a winner in the 101st minute to earn Atletico Madrid a dramatic 2-1 victory over 10-man Porto in the Champions League.
Mario Hermoso had given Diego Simeone's side the lead in stoppage time, before Porto looked to earn themselves a hard-fought point after Mateus Uribe's 96th minute penalty.
Griezmann, who is yet to start a match this season, came off the bench though to score an incredible last-gasp winner in the 11th minute of stoppage time.

Antoine Griezmann went on to score the winner off the bench in the 101st minute of the game
The French striker has featured in all five of Atletico's matches this season, but has only come on to the pitch after an hour has been played on each occasion. He also scored as a substitute in LaLiga victories against Getafe and Valencia.
'It is what it is, it's not in my hands,' Griezmann told reporters after the 2-1 win over Porto.
'Of course I'd like to play more but I'm going to give everything in the minutes I have on the pitch. I'm a club man and only want to play here and give everything for the club, the coach and the fans.'
The France striker made his name at Atletico before joining Barcelona for £104million in 2019, only to return to the Madrid side last year on a two-year loan. Barca said at the time that the contract agreed with Atletico contained a 'compulsory permanent transfer clause'.

According to reports in the Spanish media, Atletico are obliged to purchase Griezmann for 40 million euros if he plays more than 50% of minutes when available.
Atletico, who were without a victory in their last eight home fixtures in European competition, are level on three points in Group B with Club Bruges who beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0.
