Top six players to score Premier League hat-trick but still lose ft. Brian Brobbey

Only a handful of players have scored a hat-trick but still ended up losing. Out of 200 players, five players who have scored a hat-trick in the Premier League have ended up on the losing team.

A single unhappy star has done it twice. Imagine the rage in the locker room after a game when you scored three goals and had to confront your challenged opponents.

For nothing, all that ability to score goals. After filtering out the records, we looked into these five disappointed stars.

Players to score hat-trick for losing side in Premier League 6. Matt Le Tissier (Southampton v Oldham, 1993) In May 1993, Oldham vs.

Southampton was one of those rare games where everyone came out on top. Le Tissier was let free at Boundary Park following the strain of keeping Southampton afloat.

His three goals came from a header, a fantastic free kick, and a volley. However, it was not enough as Oldham eventually won the game.

Matt Le Tissier (Southampton v Nottm Forest, 1995) In August of 1995, Le Tissier began to doubt everything. The Saints scored four against Nottingham Forest on a summer's day at The Dell, with concerns about another relegation struggle still far off.

Despite scoring two penalties and another free kick, Le Tissier was unable to stop the loss. It was just the second time the forward's treble was not enough to save his side from a defeat.

Dion Dublin (Coventry v Sheff Weds, 1995) Two early Premier League mainstays, Coventry and Sheffield Wednesday, had a thrilling match at Hillsborough in December 1995. You can understand why Dublin's triple wasn't as easy as it should have been-the Sky Blues had only won once that season.
