Senegalese Mane sets new EPL record.

Sadio Mane scored the Premier League’s fastest-ever hat-trick as Southampton hammered Aston Villa 6-1 at St Mary's on Saturday.

The 23-year-old fired three goals in two minutes and 56 seconds – eclipsing Robbie Fowler’s record of four minutes and 33 seconds – to put the hosts three up after just 16 minutes, before Shane Long tapped one in and struck a superb fifth from long-range.
Christian Benteke pulled one back to make it 5-1 at half-time, but Graziano Pelle then blasted in a sixth late in the second half as Ronald Koeman’s men enjoyed a fine afternoon with their first win in five top-flight outings.
Villa needed a win to guarantee Premier League safety ahead of the day's other games, but Hull's defeat at Tottenham later on Saturday confirmed their survival, as it leaves Tim Sherwood's men four points clear of the Tigers going into the last game of the season.
