Kevin De Bruyne provided three assists at the weekend at Manchester City beat Leicester City, but four Arsenal players have gone one better.

De Bruyne’s hat-trick of assists matched Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s from the previous Saturday’s match against Everton.

It’s an achievement managed 53 times in Premier League history.

Neither player could add a fourth assist though, something only five players have ever done.

Funnily enough, all five have an Arsenal connection, and four managed it whilst playing for the club:

1. Dennis Bergkamp (Arsenal)

vs Leicester City, February 1999

 

2. Jose Antonio Reyes (Arsenal)

vs Middlesbrough, January 2006

3. Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)

vs Blackburn, October 2009

4. Emmanuel Adebayor (Tottenham)

vs Newcastle United, February 2012

5. Santi Cazorla (Arsenal)

vs Wigan Athetic, May 2013
