The relationship between Brazil and the Premier League has always been marked by attacking talent, but only a very small group of players have managed to score a hat-trick in the English championship. Throughout the competition's history, these hat-tricks have come on very specific nights, leaving matches and scores etched in fans' memories.

At the top of the ranking is Roberto Firmino, former Liverpool striker, who is the only Brazilian to date with two hat-tricks in the Premier League. The first came on 29 December 2018, when Liverpool thrashed Arsenal 5-1 at Anfield, with the Brazilian scoring three of the Reds' goals. His second hat-trick came on 16 October 2021, in Liverpool's 5-0 win over Watford at Vicarage Road, a performance that confirmed his status as a specialist on big league nights.

The new Brazilian generation is already demanding the limelight, and the best example is Igor Thiago, Brentford's striker. The forward scored a hat-trick at Everton in the 2025-26 season, a 2-4 win that consolidated the Bees in the fight for European places and Thiago as one of the top scorers of the season.

Another historic name on this list is Robinho, who left his mark with Manchester City. The Brazilian striker scored a hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium against Stoke City, in a match that ended 3-0 and became one of his most memorable performances in the sky blue shirt.

Also featured is Afonso Alves, whose spell at Middlesbrough saw him have a great night against Hull City. The Brazilian striker scored three goals in a 3-1 victory that is still remembered in Teesside as one of the best individual performances by a Boro player in the English top flight.

The list also includes Matheus Cunha, who became another Brazilian to score a hat-trick in the Premier League while playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers. His three goals came at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, in a match that ended 2–4 and enhanced his reputation as a game-changing striker before his subsequent transfer to Manchester United.

The latest to join the club of Brazilians with hat-tricks in the English top flight is Joao Pedro, who has been a key player for Chelsea. The striker scored three goals in the Blues' visit to Aston Villa, a 4-1 win at Villa Park that relaunched Liam Rosenior's team in the fight for Champions League places.

While playing for Spurs, Lucas Moura scored three goals against Huddersfield Town on 13 April 2019, in a 4-0 win that saw him leave the White Hart Lane ground to a standing ovation.
