The Southampton winger netted three times in
two minutes and 56 seconds, breaking the
previous record of four minutes and 33 seconds,
set by Robbie Fowler during his playing days.
Southampton striker Sadio Mane has scored the fastest hat-trick in Premier League
history, netting three times
in two minutes and 56
seconds.
The treble, which put Saints 3-0 up inside 17
minutes against Aston Villa on Saturday, overtook
the previous record of four minutes and 33
seconds, set by Robbie Fowler against Arsenal in
1994. Mane opened his account in the 13th minute, as he
skipped past challenges from Ron Vlaar and Alan
Hutton before tapping home the rebound from his
initial shot, which was saved by Shay Given, while
he again capitalised on a parry from the goalkeeper
to add his second, following Shane Long's effort. The winger then completed his hat-trick in the 16th
minute, as he latched onto Long's excellent cross to
fire home. As well as scoring the fastest Premier League hat-
trick, he has also set the record for the earliest
instance of a hat-trick in the top-flight - 16 minutes
- breaking Dwight Yorke's record of 22 minutes,
also against Arsenal, in 2001.
