Yannick Carrasco delighted with Atletico Madrid hat-trick

Yannick Carrasco was delighted with his hat-trick in Atletico Madrid's rout of Granada.

It was a five star performance from the Belgian, who also slotted home the winner against Bayern Munich at the end of last month.

"I'm very happy to score a hat-trick for the first time in my career," he told beIN Sports after the full-time whistle, clutching the match ball.

"I hope that things keep going well for me."

Asked how important it was that Atletico recovered from Isaac Cuenca's stunning early goal, the Belgian explained that he was pleased with the three points and with the performance.

"I'm very pleased to win tonight," he told the touchline reporter.

"I thought we played a good game."
