Lokomotiv Moscow 1 Atletico Madrid 5 (1-8 agg): Torres double helps pile misery on Russians

Angel Correa and Saul Niguez were on target before Fernando Torres and Antoine Griezmann got in on the act for a rampant Atletico Madrid.

Fernando Torres hit a second-half brace as Atletico Madrid showed no mercy and reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League with a dominant 5-1 win at Lokomotiv Moscow.

Diego Simeone's men took a 3-0 first-leg advantage to the Russian capital and, although star man Antoine Griezmann started on the bench and Diego Costa did not travel, there was no let-up from the LaLiga high-flyers.

Angel Correa made and finished a fine early opener and Atletico's extra class emphatically showed during the second period after Maciej Rybus' spectacular equaliser had given the hosts some cheer.
