Evan Ferguson hits remarkable milestone after stunning hat-trick 👶 | OneFootball

Brighton have a future gem on their hands in Evan Ferguson.

The 18-year-old broke onto the scene for the Seagulls last season and showed enough of his potential to firmly earn a place in the Republic of Ireland national side.

He has carried that form into the start of this season, scoring in the opening day win over Luton before helping himself to his first career hat-trick against Newcastle United on Saturday night.

With his first goal he became only the second non-English player to achieve 10 goal involvements (eight goals, two assists) in the Premier League while aged 18 or younger, following a certain Cesc Fabregas who went on to do well for himself.

And after completing his hat-trick in the second half he became only the fourth player to achieve that feat as a teenager after Robbie Fowler, Chris Bart-Williams and Michael Owen.
