THE RECORDS OF VIKTOR GYOKERES
The November records of Gyökeres
An increasingly unstoppable Viktor Gyökeres is having a phenomenal month. In November, he set couple of world records for the XXI century.
The Swedish forward scored 3 hat-tricks within the month. No one has done more than this in one calendar month in the current century. The same number: 10 other players. But Győkeres is the first to score hat-tricks in three different competitions (national league, Champions League for Sporting, Nations’ League for Sweden).
Also, Gyökeres made 2 pokers in November. This is again the record of the century, repeated by 13 other players. But he is the only one who scored these pokers for both club and national team. Details are in the table.
In 6 occasions (Krõlov, Parsemain, Ashfaq, Suarez, Hamdallah, Gayoso), a player scored the pokers in his two consecutive games.
Gyökeres's November program is not over yet; he still has a league match for Sporting Lisbon against Santa Clara (30 November), it’s a space for new achievements.
Only top-level matches were taken into consideration.
