About this programme

Since the inception of the English football league competition, the Premier League, in 1992, 206 players have scored three goals or more in a single match. The first player to achieve the feat was Frenchman Eric Cantona, who scored three times for Leeds United in a 5–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. 31 have scored more than three goals in a match; of these, five players, Andy Cole, Alan Shearer, Jermain Defoe, Dimitar Berbatov and Sergio Agüero have scored five. Sadio Mané holds the record for the quickest Premier League hat-trick, netting three times for Southampton against Aston Villa in 2 minutes 56 seconds, breaking Robbie Fowler's record. Six hat-tricks have been achieved in under 10 minutes; in addition to Mané and Fowler's, Defoe, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Ian Wright, Andy Carroll and Cole Palmer have scored the quickest hat-tricks. In 1999, Manchester United player Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored four goals in twelve minutes as a substitute against Nottingham Forest, the fastest scorer of a four-goal haul in the Premier League. Sergio Agüero came close to equalling the record when he scored four in 13 minutes as part of a five-goal haul for Manchester City against Newcastle United in October 2015.
