Rooney’s first hat-trick for United came on his debut, on 28 October 2004, in a 4–0 win against Fenerbahçe in the Champions League. However, his first Premier League hat-trick came two years later, on 28 October 2006, during Manchester United’s 4–0 win over Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium.
At just 20 years old, he gave a finishing masterclass. His goals on the day included a strong counter-attack from Louis Saha, a composed strike past the keeper and a sublime chip finish to seal the treble.
Amad’s display against Southampton came late, scoring all three in just 12 minutes. He is the first United player to score a hat-trick since Cristiano Ronaldo.
