**Behind the top two**, Robbie Fowler sits third with nine.[2](https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/who-has-the-most-hat-tricks-in-premier-league-history-aguero-shearer--players-who-scored-most-goal-trios/1vextbcepgz6f1o9g5li024p9k) [Wayne Rooney](https://www.edgepedia.org/wayne-rooney) scored seven hat-tricks in 476 matches, one every 68.0 matches.[3](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/822131) [Erling Haaland](https://www.edgepedia.org/erling-haaland) reached eight hat-tricks in only 69 Premier League matches, moving level with Harry Kane, Thierry Henry and [Michael Owen](https://www.edgepedia.org/michael-owen) in joint-fourth position in the rankings.[7](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4094601) For comparison, Henry needed 258 matches to reach eight, Kane 320, and Owen 326.[8](https://as.com/us/futbol/haaland-anota-nuevo-hat-trick-e-iguala-a-kane-y-thierry-henry-en-premier-league-n/)

The fastest hat-trick in Premier League history belongs to Sadio Mane, who scored three times in 2 minutes and 56 seconds for [Southampton](https://www.edgepedia.org/southampton) against Aston Villa on 16 May 2015.[1](https://www.premierleague.com/en/stats/records) [Cole Palmer](https://www.edgepedia.org/cole-palmer) later set the record for the fastest "perfect" hat-trick, one scored with the right foot, left foot and head, and his was also the sixth-earliest completed hat-trick in a match in the competition's history.[4](https://www.premierleague.com/ar/news/3969471)
Five players have scored five goals in a single Premier League match: Andrew Cole (Manchester United v Ipswich Town, 4 March 1995), Alan Shearer (Newcastle United v Sheffield Wednesday, 19 September 1999), [Jermain Defoe](https://www.edgepedia.org/jermain-defoe) (Tottenham Hotspur v Wigan Athletic, 22 November 2009), [Dimitar Berbatov](https://www.edgepedia.org/dimitar-berbatov) (Manchester United v Blackburn Rovers, 27 November 2010), and Sergio Aguero (Manchester City v Newcastle United, 3 October 2015).[1](https://www.premierleague.com/en/stats/records) Defoe's five came all in one half, a record for the most goals in one half of a Premier League match.[1](https://www.premierleague.com/en/stats/records)
## Debut and opening-day hat-tricks
[Fabrizio Ravanelli](https://www.edgepedia.org/fabrizio-ravanelli) is the only player to have scored a hat-trick on his Premier League debut, doing so in the opening game of the 1996/97 season in Middlesbrough's 3-3 draw with Liverpool, when he also became the first Italian to score in the competition.[9](https://theanalyst.com/articles/premier-league-opening-day-hat-tricks) • [10](https://theanalyst.com/articles/premier-league-hat-tricks-milestones)
Opening-weekend hat-tricks are rare. Only seven players had achieved the feat by 2018: Mick Quinn (Coventry City v Arsenal, 1993/94), [Matt Le Tissier](https://www.edgepedia.org/matt-le-tissier) (Southampton, 1995/96), Kevin Campbell (Nottingham Forest, 1996/97), Ravanelli ([Middlesbrough](https://www.edgepedia.org/middlesbrough), 1996/97), [Dion Dublin](https://www.edgepedia.org/dion-dublin) (Coventry City, 1997/98), Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa, 2008/09), and Didier Drogba (Chelsea v West Bromwich Albion, 2010/11).[11](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/706716) Shearer, the league's leading scorer, scored none of his 11 hat-tricks on the opening day, and none of the top 18 goalscorers in Premier League history had achieved the feat as of 2018.[11](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/706716) Raheem Sterling became the first player in nine years to score a Matchweek 1 hat-trick when he did so for Manchester City against West Ham United in August 2019.[12](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/1320088)
## Recent milestones
**Erling Haaland** has set several hat-trick records since joining Manchester City. In October 2022 he became the first player to score hat-tricks in three consecutive home Premier League matches, completing the run in a 6-3 win over Manchester United.[13](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/2836233) In his debut season he scored 36 league goals, the most in a 38-game Premier League campaign and the most in a debut season.[1](https://www.premierleague.com/en/stats/records) By early 2024 he had moved past Rooney's seven and level with Kane, Henry, and Owen on eight, after only 69 matches.[7](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4094601)
