Interestingly, there are quite a large number of players who scored their first hat-trick against Leicester City.

Dennis Bergkamp, Nicolas Anelka, Thierry Henry and Alexis Sanchez all achieved the same feat.

The largest gap between new hat-trickers was almost five years, between 2003 and 2008.

As well as having the largest number of hat-trick scorers, Arsenal players have also scored the most hat-tricks.

The Gunners are top with 39 in the Premier League. Liverpool are their closest competitors with 36.

Ramsey was also the sixth Welsh player to score a Premier League hat-trick, and the first for Arsenal.

Hopefully the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can add their names to the Gunners’ hat-trick list before long.
