Chelsea target Bernard bags hat-trick

 　　RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Reported Chelsea target Bernard scored a hat-trick as Brazil's Atletico Mineiro swept to a 5-2 away victory over Argentina's Arsenal¹ Sarandi in their Copa Libertadores group stage clash² on Tuesday.

　　The 20-year-old cancelled out Julio Furch's opener with a seventh-minute strike before adding another two goals just after half-time at the Julio Grondona stadium.

　　Two-time FIFA world player of the year Ronaldinho helped set up four of his team's goals but missed the chance to cap a fine display when he fired an 87th minute penalty³ against the crossbar.

　　Former Manchester City striker Jo and one-time Brazil international forward Diego Tardelli were also on the scoresheet as Atletico kept their unblemished record intact⁴ at the top of Group 3.

　　"We didn't think it would be such an attacking game but we are happy with the way it turned out," Ronaldinho said after the match.

　　"It's still early in the tournament and we don't want to be burdened by the responsibility of being favourites. But little by little we are improving."

　　In other Libertadores matches, reigning⁵ Argentine champions Velez Sarsfield defeated hosts Penarol 1-0 while Real Atletico also scored a 1-0 away victory over Deportes Tolima.
