David Villa destroyed Russia with the first hat-trick of Euro 2008 as Spain showed their title intent with a dominating 4-1 victory in the opening Group D encounter on Tuesday.

Valencia striker Villa was on target after 20, 44 and 75 minutes to add to his seven in qualifying and Cesc Fabregas added number four as Spain showed they could finally be poised to shrug off the tag of tournament underachievers.
