His nine goals in his first five games broke Sergio Aguero and Mick Quinn’s previous record of eight goals in the competition with the most ever.

The 22-year-old also became just the sixth player in Premier League history to score hat-tricks in back-to-back games, the first since Harry Kane in 2017. He did so against Palace and Forest.
