Chelsea's PL hat trick scorers
1. Eden Hazard
The legendary winger netted a treble twice for the club in the league in his seven seasons. He scored his first in the 3-0 win over Newcastle United in 2014 and his second against Cardiff City in 2018. He retired four years after leaving Stamford Bridge for Real Madrid.
2. Frank Lampard
According to Tribuna, all-time top scorer Frank Lampard is tied with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for most hat-tricks for the club with three each. He managed the club in two spells between 2019 and 2023, reaching the 2020 FA Cup final.
3. Mason Mount
After joining Manchester United, the boyhood star who spent 18 years at the club is a villain among the fans, but he was one of the players who scored a hat trick in blue. He scored three in the 7-0 win over Norwich City in 2021 under Thomas Tuchel.
4. Cole Palmer
The brilliant attacker scored back-to-back hat-tricks last season against Manchester United and Everton (four goals). He steered the team to a sixth-place finish in his first season after joining Manchester City.
5. Nicolas Jackson
The striker has come under heavy criticism since joining the club from Villarreal last year, particularly from legend John Obi Mikel. He took home the match ball after scoring three goals in the 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last season.
The rest of the goalscorers are listed in an image shared on an image circulating on social media.
Mikel responds to Nicolas Jackson
Legit.ng reported that Mikel Obi responded to Nicolas Jackson after the Chelsea striker told him to shut up following his performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The club legend admitted he had not said anything wrong about the striker but only wanted him to improve, and he would only shut up if he scores every week.
