The first goal came as early as the seventh minute, when the 29-year-old was played free and finished off distinctly up into the net.
Then the goals flowed like running water.
Just four minutes later, in the 11th minute, he dunked in his third, which established that it would be a hat-trick. No one has ever made a hat-trick this fast before in La Liga, according to NTB.
But the Norwegian national team player was not finished there.
After exactly half an hour of play, he also scored goal number four for the evening.
The full hits mean that Sørloth is now up to 17 goals in La Liga.
Atletico Madrid is in third place in the league, but is dependent on the title struggle and has nine points down to the next competitor in the table.
