Lokomotiv Moscow 1-5 Atletico Madrid: Torres' Brace Sees Visitors Cruise Through to Quarters

Atletico Madrid cruised through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League as they trashed Lokomotiv Moscow 1-5 at the RZD Arena.

Atletico took an early lead in the 16th minute when Angel Correa swept a low shot past Anton Kochenkov. Lokomotiv clawed back an equaliser 10 minutes later, thanks to a thunderous 30-yard effort from Maciej Rybus.

Diego Simeone's side regained the lead just after half-time, however, through Saul Niguez's side-footed finish from 12 yards out. Fernando Torres scored two more before Antoine Griezmann rounded off the scoring in the 85th minute.

The visitors carved out the first opportunity of the game in the fifth minute.
