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.

Maciej Rybus equalised after Correa had given Atletico an early lead, but Saul restored the lead for the visitors.

Torres’ brace included a penalty before Griezmann’s chip finished things off.

The only negative for Diego Simeone’s side was that left-back Filipe Luis went off with a potentially nasty injury.

Atletico have won the competition twice and also reached the Champions League finals in 2014 and 2016 – losing both times.
