The Premier League is one of the most difficult leagues in the world to play in. It is competitive, fierce and full of surprises season after season. It takes a lot of consistency to be successful in England's top-tier division.
The Premier League has seen plenty of quality players turn into goal-scoring machines. Some have gone on to score hat-tricks on multiple occasions in the league.
Active Premier League strikers have scored multiple hat-tricks
Scoring a hat-trick in the Premier League itself is a great achievement, let alone doing it more than once. The great Sergio Aguero has scored the highest number of hat-tricks in the league by scoring at least three goals on 12 occasions. He is just one hat-trick ahead of Alan Shearer, the Premier League's top scorer, in second place.
The current lot of Premier League players also involve forwards who have scored more than one hat-trick in England. Let's take a look at the active players in the league to have achieved this feat.
#5 Romelu Lukaku (3 times)
Romelu Lukaku has played for different clubs in the Premier League so far. The Belgian striker has played for Chelsea, West Bromwich Albion, Everton and Manchester United.
He returned to Chelsea this summer and is raring to be of utmost use to the Blues. In his Premier League career so far, Lukaku has scored three hat-tricks. Two of them have come with Everton while the other came with West Bromwich Albion. The one with West Brom was a memorable one since it marked the final match for Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United's manager.
The hat-tricks with Everton came against Sunderland and Bournemouth in the 2016-17 season. Romelu Lukaku has 116 goals in 263 Premier League appearances so far. With his goalscoring abilities, he can surely score more hat-tricks in the near future.
#4 Jamie Vardy (3 times)
Jamie Vardy has been an amazing player for Leicester City for a decade now. In his eight seasons in the Premier League, he has scored 127 goals in 260 appearances.
In the process, the English striker has scored three hat-tricks. His first ever hat-trick came in a 4-2 victory against giants Manchester City in the 2015-16 season. It is the same season where Leicester City famously won the Premier League. The next one came in a thumping 0-9 win against Southampton in October 2019.
The Englishman scored his last hat-trick last season when Leicester recorded an impressive 2-5 away win against Manchester City in September 2020. Jamie Vardy has already scored nine goals in 15 Premier League matches this season. With his current form, he can surely move up the ladder when it comes to this list.
#3 Raheem Sterling (4 times)
The defending Premier League champions Manchester City have been quite successful in the last decade. Raheem Sterling has been one of their key players on that journey and continues to do so.
The English winger was once a Liverpool player yet all four of his hat-tricks have come with Manchester City. His first came in a 5-1 victory against Bournemouth in October 2015. His next two came in 2020 against Watford and West Ham United.
Raheem Sterling has been amazing for Manchester City using his superb pace, quick feet and brilliant goal-scoring abilities. His last hat-trick came last season in a 0-5 win against Brighton & Hove Albion. Having scored 83 goals in 210 Premier League appearances for City, the Englishman has done a really good job so far.
#2 Mohamed Salah (4 times)
Words cannot define the stunning form Mohamed Salah has been in this season. The Egyptian winger has already scored 15 goals in 18 Premier League appearances in the 2021-22 campaign. He leads the league's goalscoring chart and also the assists chart with nine assists.
Ever since his arrival at Liverpool in 2017, Mohamed Salah has been in superb form, scoring 110 goals in 163 Premier League appearances. The left-footed winger has scored four hat-tricks so far, with two of them coming against Watford and Bournemouth in the 2018-19 season.
His third hat-trick came against Leeds United in a thrilling 4-3 win against Leeds United. Mohamed Salah's favorite hat-trick, though, has to be his fourth. It came in an emphatic 0-5 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford this season in October. With his current form, it wouldn't come as a surprise if he scores one or more hat-tricks this season itself.
#1 Harry Kane (8 times)
Harry Kane might not be in his best form in the Premier League right now but he remains one of the best strikers in England. The Englishman has scored 168 league goals in 256 appearances so far.
The 28-year-old has scored eight hat-tricks in his Premier League career. HIs first hat-trick came against his former club Leicester City in a 4-3 win in March 2015. His next two hat-tricks came against West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City respectively.
The fourth and fifth hat-tricks were special. They came in two consecutive Premier League games, making Harry Kane only the sixth player to achieve so. His sixth and seventh also came in consecutive games, making him the only player to score consecutive hat-tricks twice in the league.
The England captain scored his eighth and last Premier League hat-trick in December 2017 in a 5-2 victory against Southampton. It is unfortunate to see Harry Kane struggle these days but with his capabilities, he is bound to bounce back soon.
