VIGO, Spain (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann scored a hat-trick to earn his side a 3-0 win at struggling Celta Vigo, who played most of the LaLiga match on Saturday with 10 men after goalkeeper Ivan Villar was sent off early in the first half.

The French forward opened the scoring from the spot in the 29th minute after Villar was shown a straight red for a foul inside the penalty area on Alvaro Morata.
