Who scored four goals as a substitute for Manchester United against Nottingham Forest in 1999? Ole Gunnar Solskjær did it on 6 February 1999.

Solskjær entered the match in the 71st minute at Nottingham’s City Ground, with Manchester United already leading. He scored in the 80th, 87th, 90th and stoppage-time minutes, completing an extraordinary late burst in an 8–1 victory.

The match is remembered not only for Solskjær’s finishing but also for the scoreline. Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole each scored twice before Solskjær added four, giving United one of the largest away wins in Premier League history at the time.

A common mix-up is to credit Yorke or Cole because both were prominent scorers in the same match. Solskjær’s achievement was specifically scoring four after coming off the bench; he remains the only substitute to score four goals in a Premier League match.
