Gabriel Barbosa scored a hat trick against his former club as Flamengo routed Santos 4-0 on Saturday in Brazil's Serie A.

Santos, which has now gone four matches without a win, held off early pressure to keep the tie scoreless at halftime.

But Barbosa erupted in the second half, icing a penalty, finishing a cross from Michael and pouncing on a rebound from Santos keeper João Paulo, whose efforts held off an even more lopsided result.

Andreas Pereira, on loan from Manchester United, scored in his debut for Flamengo with a shot through the goalkeeper's legs in the 84th minute.

The win lifts Flamengo to fourth in the league, although Bragantino has a chance to retake that position on Sunday.

Santos risk slipping to 12th place if Sao Paulo or Juventude win their tie.
