CHELSEA transfer target Artem Dovbyk scored a six-minute hat-trick as he led Girona to a 5-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday.
Sevilla broke the deadlock through Isaac Romero in the 10th minute, but Dovbyk equalised just three minutes later.

The striker then fired his team into the lead within a matter of seconds before completing his hat-trick in the 19th minute.
Dovbyk’s heroics saw him go level with Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham in the La Liga Golden Boot race.
Both players have now scored 14 goals, with the Ukrainian having played two more games than his English opponent.
Girona went on to win 5-1 thanks to additional goals from Viktor Tsyhankov and Cristhian Stuani.
They now sit at the top of the La Liga table, one point ahead of Real Madrid.
Dovbyk has been one of the club’s most influential players so far this season.
And his impressive performances have seen him attract interest from elsewhere.
SunSport exclusively revealed last month that Chelsea were keen on signing him.
