Five players have scored five goals in a Premier League game, and it's 10/1 that someone joins them in 2026.
Players to score five goals in a Premier League game
Player | For | Against |
Andy Cole (94/95) | Manchester United | Ipswich Town |
Alan Shearer (99/00) | Newcastle United | Sheffield Wednesday |
Jermain Defoe (09/10) | Tottenham Hotspur | Wigan Athletic |
Dimitar Berbatov (10/11) | Manchester United | Blackburn Rovers |
Sergio Aguero (15/16) | Manchester City | Newcastle United |
Erling Haaland already has a remarkable eight hat-tricks to his name, scoring four goals against Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2024 and it feels like a matter of time before he joins some of the Premier League's finest hitmen in netting five in a game.
Of course, the Norwegian has already scored five goals in a UEFA Champions League game for Manchester City against RB Leipzig, and did score five against a Premier League team in Luton, albeit in the FA Cup.
Although five goals have been notched on five occasions, four goals has been reached plenty of times, with as many as 11 since 2017. On average, we typically see one or two players score four in a Premier League game each year, and it's 10/1 that someone can go one better in 2026.
bet365's Steve Freeth said: "In 2024, we witnessed Cole Palmer score four goals on two separate occasions, and Erling Haaland came close to joining the elite quintet of Cole, Shearer, Defoe, Berbatov and Aguero in scoring five goals in single game, but nobody got anywhere near in 2025.
"We’re now offering 10/1 for a player to join this exclusive club in 2026 and with the Norwegian still full of goals, Palmer returning to full fitness and a host of other quality players running for you, we could see a new name added to the list for the first time since 2015."
