STARS IN EUROPE - SENEGAL - Sadio Mane scores record hat-trick

Southampton F.C.

 

Southampton winger Sadio Mane has scored the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history.

The 23-year-old netted three goals in two minutes and 56 seconds against Aston Villa on Saturday.

It surpasses Robbie Fowler's hat-trick of four minutes and 32 seconds for Liverpool against Arsenal on Sunday, 28 August 1994, aged just 19.

Mane had opened the scoring at St Mary's in the 13th minute and completed his trio of goals by the 16th minute.

His first two had a touch of good fortune, putting away a ricochet off Villa keeper Shay Given, before latching on to a loose Ron Vlaar back-pass for his second.

But the Senegalese, a summer signing from Salzburg, finished well from the edge of the area for his third, to pour misery on Tim Sherwood's side.
