Standout star's hat-trick propels Lyon at Metz | OneFootball

Endrick opened the scoring in the 11th minute to set Lyon up for a 5-2 win at Metz. The Brazilian striker later completed his hat-trick from the spot.

He darted into the six-yard area to sweep in Corentin Tolisso's pass (11.), a clinical left-footer into the bottom left corner.

On the stroke of half time he doubled the advantage, arriving through the centre to finish Tyler Morton's fast break in the first minute of first half stoppage time.

After the restart he headed on target but was denied (47.). He then forced another save with a low effort (59.). The forward drew a foul to win a penalty (85.). He converted confidently into the bottom left from 12 yards (87.).

He finished with six attempts, all on target, plus three successful dribbles and 12 touches in the box, underlining how his movement stretched Metz and gave Les Gones a constant outlet.

Les Gones face PAOK in the UEFA Europa League next. Metz visit Angers in Ligue 1.
