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

Luka Jovic was incredible for Frankfurt in the 2018-19 Bundesliga season.

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!

#3 Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) vs Hertha Berlin - Oct '20

No surprises here as Robert Lewandowski has been in a league of his own since joining Bayern Munich, scoring goals from everywhere, especially in the Bundesliga.

In another showing of his attacking potential last year, he scored all four goals in their pulsating 4-3 victory over Hertha Berlin. Lewandowski gave the Bavarians a 2-0 lead that was eventually wiped out as the visitors pulled level and even made it 3-3 right after the Pole completed his treble.

But in stoppage-time, Lewandowski successfully converted a penalty to bring up his fourth of the evening and give Bayern the win.


#2 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) vs Hertha Berlin - Nov '20

Another unsurprising inclusion. Erling Haaland has been on a rampage since joining Dortmund in January 2020, netting 51 goals from as many games in the Bundesliga.

His remarkable tally includes two hat-tricks, one on his league debut, and the other a four-goal salvo against Hertha Berlin last year.

The irrepressible Norwegian netted four times in a pulsating second period as Dortmund ran out 5-2 victors. It was an incredible display for Haaland to celebrate his Golden Boy award.


#1 Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen) vs Greuther Furth - Dec '21

For the first time in their history, Bayer Leverkusen netted seven goals in a league match, battering promoted side Greuther Furth 7-1 at the BayArena.

Patrik Schick, the joint top-scorer at Euro 2020, struck four times in the match, becoming the club's first player in history to achieve the feat.

Schick is also just the 22nd player in Bundesliga history to score four times in a match.

The Czech Republic hitman has carried his Euros form into the 2021/22 club season too, having netted 12 goals in 15 appearances across all competitions.
