Ranking the last 5 players to score four goals in a Bundesliga game
To score four goals in a match is truly remarkable and Patrik Schick learned that recently in the Bundesliga. The Czech Republic striker hit a quadruple against Greuther Furth on Saturday (December 4) as Bayer Leverkusen won 7-1.
Only a handful of players have ever managed to achieve the feat in the German top-flight before despite it being over 58 years old. Bayern Munich legend Gerd Muller alone has scored four or more goals on 13 different occasions. Meanwhile Jurgen Klinsmann and Jupp Heynckes are some other big names who have netted quadruples in the Bundesliga.
Here, we'll look at the last five players who struck four goals in a Bundesliga game:
#5 Luka Jovic (Eintracht Frankfurt) vs Fortuna Dusseldorf - Oct '18
Contrary to his current struggles, Luka Jovic was a different beast during his first stint at Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 36 goals in 75 games. Among his blistering exploits was a five-goal salvo against Fortuna Dusseldorf during the 2018-19 season as the Eagles ran out 7-1 victors.

Jovic was in inspired form that evening, taking the visitors to the cleaners with a fearsome attacking display. He became just the 11th player in history to net five Bundesliga goals in a game. Jovic was also the first to score five times since Robert Lewandowski's incredible display against Wolfsburg in 2015.
#4 Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim) vs Borussia Dortmund - Jun '20
The last matchday of a league season is always special, for you get to see many unexpected results, like this one here. Hoffenheim thrashed Borussia Dortmund 4-0 at Signal Iduna Park on matchday 38 of the 2019-20 Bundesliga season, with Andrej Kramaric scoring all four goals!

Amid a shocking lack of intent from the home side, the Croatian constantly caught BVB napping, slicing through their anemic defense like a knife through butter.
Kramaric had only struck four times in the entire campaign coming into the match, but doubled his tally on the final day of the Bundesliga season!
