Gameiro hits fastest LaLiga hat-trick in 22 years

Author: Web Desk

SPAIN: Kevin Gameiro scored the fastest LaLiga hat-trick in 22 years to help Atletico Madrid to a 4-1 win over Sporting Gijon on Saturday.

The attacker came off the bench in the second half at Gijon’s El Molinon to win the match for Diego Simeone’s side with some mercurial finishing.

Gameiro struck three times in the space of just 4 minutes and 43 seconds in the closing stages with his only three shots of the match securing the win for the visitors.

It was the quickest treble since Bebeto’s against Albacete in 1995.

Gameiro just missed out on a chance to beat the most recent hat-trick record set by David Villa for Valencia while playing against Athletic Bilbao in which the striker completed his hat-trick in just 5 minutes.
