Sanchez’s first hat-trick came in Italy, when he was playing for Udinese, in February 2011.

His treble on Spanish shores came in January 2014, his final season at the Nou Camp, as he led his side to a 4-0 victory against Elche.

He sealed his hat-trick with a thunderous free kick from 30 yards.

Sanchez headed for the Premier League with Arsenal and was an instant hit with supporters at the Emirates.
