JAKARTA - Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne made his name into the Premier League history books. This achievement was made by the Belgian midfielder after scoring four goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In a meeting at the Molineux Stadium on Thursday, May 12 in the morning WIB, The Citizens won 5-1 over the hosts. Of those five goals, four of them were scored by De Bruyne.
The player with the number 17 on the back opened the tap for his team when the game had only been running for 7 minutes. De Bruyne again strafed the Wolves goal in the 16', 24' and 60' minutes.
Of the four goals made, De Bruyne's three in a row in the first 24 minutes made him enter the Premier League record books.
According to Opta Joe, De Bruyne's achievement makes him the third fastest player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League competition. De Bruyne's record is only faster than the achievements of Sadio Mane and Dwight Yorke.
Kevin De Bruyne's hat-trick in 24 minutes is the fastest three goals in Premier League history, after Sadio Mane v Aston Villa in May 2015 (16 minutes) and Dwight Yorke v Arsenal in February 2001 (22). Amazing," wrote Opta Joe.
