Three moments of Messi magic send Argentina through to World Cup finals

Argentina conceded after just 37 seconds in their must-win game against Ecuador - but Lionel Messi came to the rescue as his side booked their place at next summer's World Cup.

The number 10 hit a brace in the first half in Quito and capped off a stellar performance as he completed his hat-trick with a stunning chip over keeper Maximo Banguera just after the hour mark.
