But who was the last player to take the match ball home for your club in a Premier League or First Division game?<\/p>\n
Check out our findings below…<\/p>\n
Aaron Ramsey was the last Gunners player to take home the match ball<\/p>\n
The Welshman, who will soon be playing his football for Juventus, netted three in a 5-1 home victory against Everton in February 2018 under Arsene Wenger.<\/p>\n
Callum Wilson was the last Cherries player to bag a hat-trick for the south coast outfit.<\/p>\n
The forward netted three as his side hammered Huddersfield 4-0 in November 2017.<\/p>\n
The last player to score three in a top-flight game for the Seagulls was Gordon Smith almost 40 years ago.<\/p>\n
The Scotsman, who was signed for Brighton for a then club record fee of \u00a3350,00 from Rangers, proved his worth when he netted a hat-trick against Coventry in October 1980.<\/p>\n
Andre Gray was the last Claret to take home the match ball.<\/p>\n
The current Watford marksman bagged a hat-trick in a 4-1 win against Sunderland in December 2016.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for the Bluebirds, no player has ever scored a hat-trick in England’s top flight for the club.<\/p>\n
However, it is hardly surprising as this season is only their second time featuring in the top division.<\/p>\n
There are no surprises that the Blues’ last hat-trick came from their star man Eden Hazard.<\/p>\n
It came against Cardiff City in September 2018 in their 4-1 win at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
Yannick Bolasie was the last to score three for the Eagles in a 4-1 win against Sunderland in April 2015.<\/p>\n
The Congo winger has just returned to Everton after he cancelled his loan deal at Aston Villa in the Championship.<\/p>\n
The Premier League’s second top scorer in history, Wayne Rooney, is the last player to score three for the Toffees.<\/p>\n
The veteran striker netted a hat-trick in a 4-0 win against West Ham last term, and scored one of the goals of the season in the game too.<\/p>\n
The last Cottager to score three was Pavel Pogrebnyak back in March 2012.<\/p>\n
The Russian striker was lethal in a 5-0 Fulham victory against Wolves.<\/p>\n
No player has ever scored a top flight hat-trick for the Terriers.<\/p>\n
And it doesn’t look likely either as they struggle at the bottom of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, Jamie Vardy was the last to score a hat-trick for the Foxes back in December 2016.<\/p>\n
Leicester’s talisman netted three against Manchester City at the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n
Roberto Firmino scored a hat-trick for the Reds as recently as a month ago when Liverpool dismantled Arsenal 5-1 at Anfield.<\/p>\n
It was the second hat-trick in December for Jurgen Klopp’s men as Mohamed Salah scored three a couple of weeks before.<\/p>\n
Sergio Aguero was the last to score three in a game for the champions when he netted his ninth hat-trick back in August.<\/p>\n
He scored three against Huddersfield as Pep Guardiola’s side hammered the Terriers 6-1 at home.<\/p>\n
Robin van Persie was the last to score three for the Red Devils when he sealed his side’s Premier League title in a 3-0 win against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
He netted all of the goals in the game and won the Golden Boot that season.<\/p>\n
It is more than three years since the last Newcastle player scored a hat-trick in a Premier League game.<\/p>\n
Georginio Wijanldum, who is now at Liverpool, actually scored four times as the Magpies thrashed Norwich City 6-2 at St James’ Park in October 2015.<\/p>\n

The Senegal international bagged a hat-trick in a 4-2 win against Manchester City in May 2015.<\/p>\n
Harry Kane was the last to score a hat-trick for Spurs in a 5-2 win against Southampton in December 2017.<\/p>\n
But the three he scored came over a year ago and with his recent injury this season he faces a hard task to score another this season.<\/p>\n
The last to score three for the Hornets came just under 35 years ago when Mark Falco scored three against Aston Villa in October 1986.<\/p>\n
Surely one player will break the near 40 year curse under Javi Gracia and his high-flying side?<\/p>\n
Andy Carroll was the last player to score three for the Hammers.<\/p>\n
The tall striker bagged three as West Ham drew 3-3 with Arsenal in a six goal thriller at Upton Park in April 2016.<\/p>\n
As already mentioned, Jota netted three for the Premier League newcomers this weekend.<\/p>\n
But under Nuno Espirito Santo this season, you wouldn’t bet against another player to score three for Wanderers in the 15 matches remaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
