On May 16, 2015, Southampton winger Sadio Mane made football history against Aston Villa at St Mary's Stadium. In the span of just two minutes and fifty six seconds, Mane scored three consecutive goals, shattering a Premier League record that had stood for over two decades.
The previous record belonged to Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler, who scored a hat trick in four minutes and thirty three seconds against Arsenal in 1994. Mane cut that record down by nearly two full minutes.
His first goal came at thirteen minutes and forty two seconds after chasing down a rebound. Just eighty four seconds later, he pounced on an underhit backpass to slot home his second. He finished the historic treble by curling a shot into the top corner at sixteen minutes and thirty eight seconds.
Southampton went on to win the match six to one. Years later, Mane's rapid treble remains widely considered one of the most unbreakable records in modern football history.
