Why a plastic bottle get crushed if it is first heated by putting in hot water keeping its cap open then immediately placed inside a refrigerator by closing its cap?

When the bottle is put in the hot water the air inside it heats up and expands (the atoms become more energised and move farther away from each other). When the lid is put on and it is put in the fridge, the air contracts; the pressure inside the bottle becomes lower than the air pressure outside the bottle and it gets crushed.
