Newcastle midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum properly announced himself to the Premier League by scoring four times in his club's 6-2 victory over Norwich.

It was Newcastle's first league win of the season and helped lift them off the bottom of the table. Netherlands international Wijnaldum has taken just nine games to score his first top-flight hat-trick in England, after moving to the North-East from PSV Eindhoven. But the stunning fourth means he's conjured up memories of another Dutchman. https://twitter.com/PCarrESPN/status/655787693645807616 Hasselbaink, who is now managing League One side Burton Albion, hit four of Chelsea's goals in a 6-1 victory over Coventry City back in October 2000. A few more Dutchmen have fired home Premier League trebles, and it's a who's who of top talent. https://twitter.com/futmais/status/655785966322491392 Newcastle fans might just have a new hero. https://twitter.com/JonnyGabriel/status/655764622310526977 https://twitter.com/Chateau_Nouveau/status/655790071786938368 https://twitter.com/CoachMeron/status/655788832466608128 https://twitter.com/ponsaeIius/status/655789102625869824
