It is highly rare for a midfielder to score a hat-trick in football, particularly in the English Premier League. This is especially true for the job. Players that play positions such as strikers and wingers are more likely than midfielders to finish games with three goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah, Kevin de Bruyne, Son Heung-min, and Bruno Fernandes all scored hat-tricks for their respective sides during the most recent English Premier League season.
Only the most skilled midfielders, who predominantly play as attacking midfielders or second strikers, have the possibility to score three goals in a single Premier League game. These three midfielders are the only ones in Premier League history to score four goals in a single game.

During the previous season, the Manchester City playmaker scored a hat-trick of four goals against Wolves, giving the Citizens a huge advantage in their race with Liverpool for the Premier League title.
The Belgium international scored four great goals against Wolves at Molineux Stadium, which contributed heavily to Manchester City's league championship victory. The playmaker has been hailed as one of Europe's most talented, and he is destined to be considered as one of football's all-time greats.
