We’ve decided to look back at some of the greatest goalscoring performances in the division’s history, an exclusive group of players to remarkably net five times in a single Premier League fixture.

Here are the five players to score five goals in a Premier League game:

6. Ian Rush, Liverpool vs Luton Town in 1983



Liverpudlian Rush was an injury doubt for the fixture with Luton Town at Anfield, suffering from a groin injury sustained in a midweek cup tie with Brentford a matter of days beforehand.

However Rush was indeed cleared to play, albeit at the very last minute, and was the man of the match in a stellar individual performance. Liverpool would dismantle opponents Luton by a 6-0 scoreline, with Rush scoring all but one of the home side's goals, securing his hat-trick within 36 minutes, and he added his fourth and fifth in the second half.

After the match, while holding the match ball, Rush joked with the media: "The lads say I’ve got so many I can open up a sports shop. I came here not expecting to play, but at five o’clock I’d got five goals. It was unbelievable."

5. Tony Woodcock, Asenal vs Aston Villa 1983
