Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a hat-trick on Saturday as Manchester United sneaked past Norwich City 3-2 to keep their top-four dreams alive.
Not only was it Ronaldo's second hat-trick in three games (and 60th of his career), it was also the fourth hat-trick since the start of March, with Ivan Toney and Heung-min Son having also bagged trebles.
It took the hat-trick tally for the season to 11 with around one-sixth of the season still to play.
But how does that compare to previous Premier League seasons?
Planet Sport takes a look.
Most hat-tricks in a Premier League season
The most Premier League hat-tricks in a season is 19 which occurred in 1993/94 and 2011/12. However, the 2011/12 season takes the crown, with only 380 games played as opposed to 462 in 1992/93 when the Premier League was still 22 clubs.
Two of those hat-tricks were back-to-back trebles from Wayne Rooney, one of only five players to have scored hat-tricks in successive Premier League games - Les Ferdinand, Ian Wright, Didier Drogba and Harry Kane (twice) being the others.
The high number of trebles in 2011/12 also correlates with the second-most goals scored in a Premier League campaign, with the season seeing 1,066 at an average of 2.81 per game.
Only 2018/19 saw more, with 1,072 goals scored at an average of 2.82. However, that season only featured 11 hat-tricks.
With 65 games still to play in the Premier League in 2021/22 there have been 877 goals at an average of 2.78 per game.
Fewest hat-tricks in a Premier League season
Since the Premier League was reduced to 20 teams in 1995/96 there have been 313 hat-tricks at an average of 11.6 per season.
The fewest hat-tricks were recorded in the 2006/07 season when just three players - Rooney, Didier Drogba and Peter Crouch - scored three times in the same game. Crouch's hat-trick, for Liverpool against Arsenal, was a perfect hat-trick, comprising a goal with his right food, one with his left and a header. Thirty-five players have achieved the feat.
The 2006/07 season also had the lowest goals scored of any Premier League season; 931 and at average of 2.45 a game.
The following season there were 15 hat-tricks.
Most individual hat-tricks in Premier League history
Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero holds the record for the most Premier League hat-tricks, with 12. Alan Shearer netted 11, while Harry Kane is Aguero's nearest active challenger, with eight top-flight trebles to his name.
Despite having helped himself to two hat-tricks in his last three, Cristiano Ronaldo has only ever registered one other Premier League treble. That came for United in their 6-0 thrashing of Newcastle back in January 2008.
