Newcastle Defender Sets Record With Hat-Trick Of Assists

Sheffield United 0 : 8 Newcastle United

• Defender Makes History With Hat-Trick Of Assists.

Newcastle star Kieran Trippier achieved a career first on Sunday night according to onefootball

The right-back was appearing in his 157th Premier League fixture but had never before managed to supply a hat-trick of assists in a single game.

But his deadly deliveries for Dan Burn, Sven Botman and Callum Wilson to all head home saw him finally achieve the rare feat.

In a further twist though, he is only the second player ever to do so when each goal was a header, following on from Jason Puncheon for Crystal Palace against West Ham eight years ago.

Trippier is also the first Newcastle player to provide three or more assists in a single league game since Allan Saint-Maximin did so in 2020 against Bournemouth.
