#4 Emmanuel Adebayor | Tottenham Hotspur, 2012

While the first three players to achieve this remarkable feat were all at Arsenal, Premier League journeyman Emmanuel Adebayor became the first non-Gunner to do so in 2012. An out-and-out goalscorer, Adebayor was Tottenham's sublime playmaker in their 5-0 win against Newcastle in 2012.

Creating four goals for his side while volleying a brilliant effort into the back of the net himself, Adebayor's performance that day was extraordinary, as he became only the fourth player in Premier League history to accomplish the feat.


#3 Santi Carzola | Arsenal, 2013

Yes, Arsenal managed to add their fourth and final player to this list of seven. This will certainly be a difficult record for another club to break in the coming years.

Just a year after Adebayor's fantastic performance against Newcastle, Santi Cazorla's magical playmaking ability came to the fore against an unlucky Wigan Athletic side in 2013. The Latics defenders were no match for Cazorla's passing quality and brilliance throughout the game as Arsenal scored four goals, with Carzola assisting them all.

Unlucky to get on the scoresheet himself, Cazorla was a force to reckon with, and that performance only stamped the player's abilities in stone. He dictated the midfield, won the game in fine fashion and made history in the process.


#2 Harry Kane | Tottenham Hotspur, 2020

Sublime for Tottenham last season, Harry Kane's partnership with Son Heung-Min made the star striker the first Englishman to join this elite list of players. Playing against Southampton, their brilliant partnership bore fruit to devastating effect as Son Heung-Min scored an astonishing four goals, with Kane assisting each of them.

It isn't often a physically imposing striker is seen pulling the strings from the wings and the midfield, which makes Kane's feat all the more impressive. With their goal rout, both players helped avoid certain defeat, as Spurs came from behind to beat Southampton 5-2.


#1 Paul Pogba | Manchester United, 2021

The Frenchman, against all odds, achieved this difficult feat only hours ago as Manchester United beat Leeds United 5-1 at Old Trafford. He is the latest star of the elite club and is also the first Manchester United player on the list.

Pogba set up Bruno Fernandes in the 30th minute for the first goal and played a superb pass from the flank to Mason Greenwood to set up the second. He then threaded a through-pass to Fernandes again to make it his third assist and finally teed up Fred to take his tally to four on the night.

With lots of rumors circulating about Pogba leaving Old Trafford, it is unlikely for interest in him to dwindle after such a brilliant performance at the start of the season.
