What's the fastest Premier League hat-trick?
Sadio Mane holds the record for the fastest Premier League hat-trick after he scored three goals for Southampton against Aston Villa in... wait for it... two minutes and 56 seconds.
Mane scored his record-breaking hat-trick in a 6-1 rout in May, 2015 and added a second hat-trick to his name against Manchester City exactly a year later.
Mane broke the previous record held by Robbie Fowler, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored four goals in just 12 minutes for Manchester United against Nottingham Forest. As a substitute.
