Yahoo Sports Gerard Moreno loves taunting Atleti in their own backyard 👻
Playing inside the Riyadh Air Metropolitano is no easy task, but Villareal star Gerard Moreno absolutely loves taunting the Atlético de Madrid crowd.
The visitors grabbed the lead on Saturday when Moreno sent a penalty beyond a diving Jan Oblak, who guessed correctly but couldn't get a touch.
It means the 32-year-old has scored inside Atleti's grounds on three consecutive occasions in LaLiga and it's the first time that has happened in eight years.
