Sørloth Hat-Trick Secures Atletico Champions League Spot

Alexander Sørloth has scored a hat-trick to put Atletico Madrid in command of their Champions League playoff tie.

Matteo Ruggeri delivered a short-corner routine, crossing to Alexander Sørloth, who side-footed past Simon Mignolet to score his third goal of the match.

Later, a one-two between Ademola Lookman and Antoine Griezmann created space for a low cross, which Sørloth converted from close range to seal the victory and a place in the last 16.
