On a personal note, it was the first time he will be involved in three goals in a single game in the top five European leagues after 108 games.
Also, he became the first player to have a hand in at least three goals in a Premier League outing since Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane three seasons back.
Furthermore, he is the first player in England’s elite division to find the net twice against Liverpool since Marcus Rashord for Manchester in March 2018.
With six goals in his kitty for the Hornets across all competitions so far, he would be hoping to find the net against Crystal Palace as Nigel Pearson’s men continue their fight to avoid relegation.
