Qatar undone by Robinson hat-trick
Dublin: Qatar fell 4-0 to Republic of Ireland in an international friendly on Tuesday, with Callum Robinson starring with a hat-trick.
It was Qatar's second defeat of the October international window, with the reigning AFC Asian Cup champions losing 3-0 to Portugal last week.

After a double in Saturday's FIFA World Cup qualifier victory in Azerbaijan, West Brom man Robinson put Ireland ahead on four minutes with a deflected shot.

Robinson extended his team's lead nine minutes later with a spot-kick and completed his hat-trick in the 53rd minute. Shane Duffy sealed the emphatic win with a headed finish in the 59th minute.

Qatar, playing in Group A of the European Qualifiers in preparation for the FIFA World Cup 2022, face Serbia and Azerbaijan in the November international window.
