Antoine Griezmann struck a hat-trick in a 3-0 win over 10-man Celta Vigo to help Atletico Madrid climb provisionally second in La Liga on Saturday.

The French forward was at his lethal best in a comfortable win at Celta's Balaidos stadium for Diego Simeone's side, made easier by the hosts' goalkeeper Ivan Villar's early dismissal.

The stopper took out Atletico striker Alvaro Morata in the area midway through the first half and was dismissed, with former Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita coming on for his Celta debut.

His first job was to pick the ball out of the net as Griezmann dispatched the resulting penalty, before netting twice more to move second in the Spanish goalscoring charts on seven league goals, behind Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.
