Atletico Madrid have held on to beat Eibar 2-1 at the Vicente Calderon to pick up their first victory of the La Liga campaign.

Last season's league champions opened up their scoring account with 11 minutes on the clock courtesy of Miranda, who made the most of some lacklustre defending to head home Koke's corner.

Mario Mandzukic doubled Atletico's lead on 26 minutes with a header of his own, with Gabi the provider on this occasion as his free kick was converted into the far corner of the net.

It was almost curtains for Eibar shortly after when Antoine Griezmann fired a shot away at goal, but his attempt ended narrowly wide of the target.

Ten minutes before the interval, however, the newly-promoted side were right back in it thanks to Abraham's curled effort into the top corner from outside the box.

Atletico looked to extend their lead once more before the end of the half, but Xabi Iruretagoiena managed to keep out Raul Garcia's effort.

The second 45 minutes lacked any real chances early on, with Eibar taking control for large spells but only really threatening through set pieces.

On the 75-minute mark, Eneko Boveda met Javi Lara's cross into the box, but his header failed to trouble Miguel Angel Moya.

Lara nearly levelled the game with just two minutes remaining, only for his attempt to drop narrowly wide of the post to ensure that the Rojiblancos held out for all three points.
