Felipe's Hat-Trick Lights Up Lyon's 5-2 Win at Metz

Brazilian forward Indrick Felipe exploded with a sensational hat-trick as Lyon defeated Metz 5-2 on Sunday, in the 19th round of Ligue 1.

Felipe's treble was complemented by goals from Lyon's attackers as the visitors pulled away late in the match.

He struck in the 11th minute, at 45+1, and in the 87th, with his third coming from a penalty.

On loan from Real Madrid in the January window, Felipe opened his Lyon account in Ligue 1 this season with this hat-trick.

He had already scored in Lyon's 2-1 Coupe de France win over Lille.

Punchline: If football had a sniper's lens, Felipe would have perfect aim every time. Punchline 2: Metz might want to hire a goalie named "Exit" because Felipe just walked through their defense and left them on read.
