Chelsea's Christian Pulisic made history by scoring a perfect hat trick in a 4-2 win over Burnley on October 26, 2019, tightening the team's grip on the top four.
The 21-year-old winger, who started for the first time since August, netted his first goal with a left-footed finish reminiscent of former Chelsea star Eden Hazard.
His second goal came after Willian reclaimed possession, and Pulisic broke away to score.
The perfect hat trick was sealed when Pulisic headed a Mason Mount cross, becoming the first player to score the ideal treble since Didier Drogba in 2010.
Burnley tried to stage a late comeback with goals from Jay Rodriguez and Dwight McNeil, but it was too little too late for the Clarets, who were second-best for most of the game.
With the win, Chelsea went level on points with Leicester City, who defeated Southampton 9-0 on October 25.
