Antoine Griezmann wondergoal is forgotten as Fernando Torres suffers serious injury

Homesport

Get well soon, Fernando.

Antoine Griezmann scored one of the best goals you'll see all season on Thursday night, but the game will be remembered for a serious head injury suffered by Fernando Torres. The Atletico Madrid forward showed exactly why Manchester United are reportedly preparing a €100m bid for him in the summer with a stunning strike against Deportivo La Coruna. Greizmann played a give and go with two teammates, before hitting a first-time shot, which curled and dipped beyond the Deportivo goalkeeper. The strike seemed to catch the 'keeper by surprise and drew the game level at 1-1. However, the match was marred by an injury to Torres. The Atletico striker was hurt in a clash of heads, and received lengthy treatment on the pitch before being taken to hospital. Be warned, these are distressing images. Spanish football writer Dermot Corrigan documented the incident on Twitter. https://twitter.com/dermotmcorrigan/status/837414217137471489 https://twitter.com/dermotmcorrigan/status/837414348796608513 https://twitter.com/dermotmcorrigan/status/837415219567669252 https://twitter.com/dermotmcorrigan/status/837415820263370756 https://twitter.com/dermotmcorrigan/status/837423701788397573 https://twitter.com/dermotmcorrigan/status/837424519044280320 https://twitter.com/dermotmcorrigan/status/837426062854352897 Torres was thankfully discharged from hospital on Friday morning, as said he was fine after the injury scare. https://www.instagram.com/p/BRJ6r2QjaaA/?taken-by=fernandotorres Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
