Andre Schurrle scored an 18-minute hat-trick against Fulham

Andre Schurrle is a name many Chelsea fans may have forgotten. However, his 18-minute hat-trick against Fulham in 2014 was a day to remember for the German. His ruthless finishing contributed to his side’s win at Craven Cottage and their four-point lead at the top of the table.

Both teams were struggling to create chances with Fulham putting in a strong defensive display in the first half. However, Schurrle and his team-mates sprung into life in the second half.

The German latched onto a ball in behind and bearing down on goal, he slotted the ball underneath the keeper with his weak foot. For his second, he was easily found by Hazard in the box and once again placed the ball past the keeper into the corner again with his left foot.

For the third goal, his movement once again meant he found himself with time and space in front of goal, with him calmly finishing past the keeper for his hat-trick, this time with his right foot.

Although Fulham were on their way down, Schurrle’s performance mustn’t be underestimated with him scoring three perfectly finished goals in this London derby.
