Who has scored the most hat-tricks in the Premier League?
The Premier League has hosted some truly iconic strikers since the competition's inception back in the 1990s.
Players like Alan Shearer and Andy Cole set the goalscoring gold standard, while modern day stars like Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah continue to show their quality in England's top flight.
And then, of course, there's Erling Haaland, who looks dangerously capable of breaking every single record that has been set before him.
Here's the Premier League's hat-trick history.

Can Erling Haaland catch Aguero's hat-trick record?
Haaland had managed three hat-tricks after just eight Premier League games and is now up to four overall.
Dimitar Berbatov, Andy Cole, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robin van Persie and Ian Wright - who each scored five hat-tricks in the Premier League - are all in Haaland's sights at this early stage of the season.
What is the quickest Premier League hat-trick?
The quickest hat-trick in Premier League history came when Sadio Mane netted three goals in 2 minutes 56 seconds during Southampton's 6-1 thumping of Aston Villa, beating Robbie Fowler's previous best by over a minute.
Mane scored another treble for the Saints a year later when they shocked Manchester City 4-2, but he never managed one in the Premier League for Liverpool. He did, however, net a Champions League hat-trick when Liverpool won 5-0 at Porto in 2018.
