Ranking the 5 fastest hat-tricks in Premier League history.
#5 Sergio Aguero v Newcastle United | 2015 | 8 minutes
A Premier League goal-scoring record is most likely to be incomplete without Sergio Aguero's name somewhere on the list. Arguably the most famous and talented foreigner in the league, Sergio Aguero graced the pitch for 10-long years.
He left Cityzens after completing a decade with multiple records under his belt. Manchester City's top goalscorer has barely put a foot wrong during his tenure at the Etihad. His performances have always been on a constant level.
One such great performance from Aguero came in 2015 against Newcastle United. He scored five goals against the Magpies that day. In addition, Aguero's eight-minute hattrick is the fifth fastest in the history of the league.
Newcastle opened the scoreline in the 18th minute itself. However, little did they know of what lay ahead. City smashed six goals in return and the Argentine slotted five of them. Aguero bagged his hat-trick in 42', 49' and 50' minute.
3 - Sergio Aguero has scored the first perfect Premier League hat-trick since the Argentine himself scored one against Newcastle in October 2015. Deja-vu. https://t.co/zs4I9Czy82
