Do you know who hold the record for fastest hat-trick scored in Premier league history?

Manchester City laboured at times against Wigan Athletic on Monday night but a 13-minute (12 mins 30 seconds to be precise) hat-trick by Carlos Tevez sunk the unfortunate Latics at Eastlands.

What's more, it was the second time this season that Roberto Martinez's side have been at the wrong end of a rapid treble.

After watching Tevez hatrick against Wigan..It makes me wonder who scored the fastest hatrick in Barclays Premier League history..

As the table below shows, Tevez's three-goal haul is the ninth quickest in Premier League history and the second entry from 2009-10 in the list after Jermain Defoe's first three against Wigan in November, the second fastest treble in the division's history.

The fastest ever hat-trick in the Premier League remains Robbie Fowler's four minute 33 second effort against Arsenal in 1994, a record that looks certain to stand for some time.

Completing the top three is Gabriel Agbonlahor with his eight minute burst against Manchester City early last season.

It is interesting to note that despite the influx of foreign players into the English top-flight, Tevez is only the second non-Englishman in this list, after Manchester United poacher Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

One similarity for the fastest hat-trick this season>>> both fastest hat-trick was scored against Wigan..Terrible defence!!

Given that arguably the most famous hat-trick in football, Geoff Hurst's in 1966, was also English in origin, perhaps the three-goal haul is a national speciality?
