Which 7 players have scored a Premier League hat-trick in under 10 minutes?

Scoring a hat-trick in the Premier League is already a rare and memorable feat, but doing so in under ten minutes elevates it to legendary status. Over the years, only a handful of players have managed to achieve this remarkable milestone.

If you think you know a few of these names, even before you've read the article, you might do well in this impossible football quiz.

But before we dive into the list, it's worth remembering just how extraordinary this achievement really is. Scoring a hat-trick requires not only precision and confidence but also timing, instinct, and sometimes a little bit of chaos. To do it in under ten minutes, everything must align perfectly - from teammates' assists to defensive lapses and a striker's unshakable form in front of goal. These moments are lightning in a bottle, the kind that fans remember decades later.

Anyway, here are the seven players who have etched their names into Premier League history with lightning-quick trebles.

Sadio Man

1. Sadio Mané - Southampton vs Aston Villa (16th May 2015)

  • Scoreline: Southampton 6-1 Aston Villa
  • Time: 2 minutes, 56 seconds
Mané holds the record for the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history. The Senegalese forward struck three times in just under three minutes, tearing apart Villa's defence with ruthless finishing. His record-breaking treble is still unmatched.

2. Robbie Fowler - Liverpool vs Arsenal (28th August 1994)

  • Scoreline: Liverpool 3-0 Arsenal
  • Time: 4 minutes, 33 seconds
Before Mané, Fowler's blistering treble against Arsenal stood as the benchmark. Known as "God" to Liverpool fans, Fowler punished the Gunners with three clinical goals inside five minutes, a record that lasted over two decades.

3. Jermain Defoe - Tottenham vs Wigan (22nd November 2009)

  • Scoreline: Tottenham 9-1 Wigan
  • Time: 7 minutes, 0 seconds
In one of the most iconic scorelines in Premier League history, Defoe bagged five goals on the day, with his first three coming in just seven minutes. His hat-trick was the catalyst for Spurs' unforgettable demolition of Wigan.

4. Gabriel Agbonlahor - Aston Villa vs Man City (17th August 2008)

  • Scoreline: Aston Villa 4-2 Manchester City
  • Time: 7 minutes, 10 seconds
Agbonlahor's pace and directness tore Manchester City apart as he scored a rapid treble early in the 2008/09 season. It was the highlight of his career and remains one of Villa's most memorable Premier League moments.

5. Ian Wright - Arsenal vs Ipswich (15th April 1995)

  • Scoreline: Arsenal 4-1 Ipswich
  • Time: 9 minutes, 0 seconds
The Arsenal legend was already known for his lethal finishing, and his hat-trick against Ipswich proved it. Wright needed just nine minutes to notch three goals, showing why he became one of the Premier League's earliest stars.

Cole Palmer

6. Cole Palmer - Chelsea vs Brighton (28th September 2024)

  • Scoreline: Chelsea 4-2 Brighton
  • Time: 9 minutes, 48 seconds
Palmer's rise at Chelsea reached new heights when he completed a sub-10-minute treble against Brighton. Still in the early stages of his career, the young maverick's hat-trick announced him as one of the league's most exciting talents.

7. Andy Carroll - West Ham vs Arsenal (9th April 2016)

  • Scoreline: West Ham 3-3 Arsenal
  • Time: 9 minutes, 50 seconds
Carroll was at his devastating best in this thriller, bullying Arsenal's defence and scoring three goals in under ten minutes. His aerial dominance made him unplayable that day, sealing his place on this exclusive list.

The Elite Few


These seven players make up one of the Premier League's most exclusive clubs - the sub-10-minute hat-trick scorers. Starting from the first one, Fowler's trailblazing effort in 1994, up to the latest one Palmer's breakout performance in 2024, these moments capture everything that makes English football special: intensity, unpredictability, and pure entertainment.

Each of these hat-tricks tells its own story - a flash of brilliance, a surge of confidence, a defence caught off guard. They remind us that football's greatest thrills often happen in the blink of an eye. Scoring three goals in a game is hard enough; doing it in under ten minutes cements a player's name forever in Premier League folklore.
