    Forssell bags three in Group E rout

    Mikael Forssell helped himself to a hat-trick as Finland registered a convincing 8-0 win over fellow Group E strugglers San Marino. The former Birmingham and Chelsea striker starred as the Finns picked up their first points of their European Championship qualifying campaign in style. Kasper Hamalainen (2), Mika Vayrynen, Jari Litmanen and substitute Roni Porokara also netted in an utterly one-sided Group E clash - with seven of the goals coming in the space of 30 second-half minutes. However, Olli Huttunen's team remain outsiders to qualify for Euro 2012 - they are still three points behind fourth-placed Moldova.
