Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) - 8

Harry Kane scored his first Premier League hat-trick in Tottenham Hostpur's 4-3 home win over Leicester City in 2014-15. A second hat-trick in the competition quickly materialized in the early part of the next season as Kane's 3-goal haul helped Spurs down Bournemouth 5-1 on the road.

2016-17 saw Kane score four Premier League hat-tricks in the season. Hat-tricks in 4-0 wins over West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City were followed by a four-goal haul in a 6-1 away win at Leicester City. Kane then scored his fourth hat-trick of the season in a 7-1 victory over Hull City.

Hat-tricks against Burnley and Southampton in 2017-18 saw Kane emulate Les Ferdinand, Ian Wright, Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney as the only players to score Premier League hat-tricks in successive games.
