  "account": "MADRID: Atletico Madrid secured the top spot in the early La Liga table with a convincing 3-1 victory over Sevilla on Saturday. Diego Simeone's men have taken seven points from their first three matches. The club had previously ruled out a transfer for midfielder Julian Alvarez to Barcelona, who had also been linked with Arsenal. Alvarez was left out of the matchday squad in Seville after being booed by his own fans in a previous game. Forward Lee Kang-in, a summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain, assisted Alex Baena early on in the 4th minute to give Atletico the lead. Baena doubled Atletico's lead in the 26th minute with a clever shot inside the near post. Spanish World Cup winner Baena added his second goal just seven minutes later, driving a shot into the bottom corner after being teed up by Marcos Llorente. Despite Sevilla's improved performance in the second half and Miguel Sierra's volley, they never managed to mount a comeback.",
