Wolves victorious over Espanyol
Diego Jota hits another hat-trick.
Diogo Jota scored a second successive Europa League hat-trick as Wolves took complete control of their last-32 tie against Espanyol with a 4-0 first-leg win.
Wolves had failed to score in back-to-back Premier League matches but had no trouble in overcoming LaLiga's bottom-placed side at Molineux on Thursday.
Jota netted a hat-trick when Wolves won by the same scoreline against Besiktas in December.
He opened the scoring here with a close-range finish inside 15 minutes before doubling his tally in the second half after Ruben Neves' sublime 25-yard volley put the hosts two ahead.
The Portugal international completed his latest hat-trick with nine minutes remaining.
Espanyol now have a mountain to climb in next week's return leg.
