MADRID (Reuters) -Alvaro Morata scored a brace to help Atletico Madrid fight back and secure a frantic 3-2 win over Feyenoord in their Champions League Group E clash on Wednesday, with goalkeeper Jan Oblak putting in a superb second-half performance for the hosts.

Feyenoord were arguably the better side throughout and took an early lead thanks to an unfortunate own goal by defender Mario Hermoso, as Oblak's rebound from an Ayase Ueda effort in the sixth minute bounced off his knee and deflected into his own goal.
