Today Cole Palmer scored a \”perfect hat trick\” (left foot, right foot, header) that was also a \”natural hat trick\” (3 goals in a row). It was also all in one half but for the sake of this question, I’ll leave that out of it. Does the EPL track how many Perfect-Natural hat tricks have ever been scored? I can find lots of stats on perfect alone (35 different players with a couple doing it more than once (Robbie Fowler and Yakubu)) – but I was curious how rare it was to see what Palmer did today. Anybody got any leads on finding that stat? Regardless, it was a special thing to watch!

Solsjkaer scored 4 unanswered goals after coming on as a sub vs forest in 99.. don’t think he had a perfect hat trick amongst it though.

It is rare, but you know what’s rarer? To score with your chest. In both cases, the rarity here is not a gem or something deserving respect.

I don’t know, but it’d be cool to see.
