Who is the youngest player to score a Premier League hat-trick?

Michael Owen is the youngest player to score a Premier League hat-trick. He was 18 years and 62 days old when he scored three times for Liverpool against Sheffield Wednesday on 14 February 1998.

The match at Hillsborough ended 3–3, with Owen’s goals helping Liverpool earn a point. He had already made a major impression as a teenager, breaking into Liverpool’s first team during the 1996–97 season and becoming known for his explosive pace and composed finishing.

Owen’s record is often confused with other youth records. Wayne Rooney, for example, became the youngest scorer in Premier League history when he scored for Everton aged 16 years and 360 days, but he was not the youngest hat-trick scorer. Owen eventually scored eight Premier League hat-tricks, including three while he was still a teenager, another competition record associated with his remarkable early career.
