Antonio Sanabria bags another hat-trick in Spain

Antonio Sanabria bags another hat-trick in Spain

AS Roma loanee Antonio Sanabria produced a man-of-the-match performance as Sporting Gijon crushed Real Sociedad 5-1 in La Liga on Friday night



The Paraguayan striker, who signed for the Giallorossi in July 2014, struck in the 44th, 53rd and 81st minutes of the game to seal three points for his temporary employers.

It is the Paraguayan striker's second hat-trick of the season after he put three past Las Palmas earlier on in the campaign. On that occasion, aged 19 years and 324 days, he became the second-youngest player to score a hat-trick in La Liga history after Jose Iraragorri, who established the long-standing record in 1930.

With his nine-goal tally to date, Sanabria is also the third foreigner to reach that figure in a single season before the age of 20. The only other two players to achieve that feat are Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero.
