  "account": "Brian Brobbey scored a hat-trick in Manchester City's 5-3 loss to Sunderland, becoming only the fifth player in Premier League history to achieve such a feat in a defeat. This milestone has only happened six times since the league's inception in 1992, with the last instance occurring in December 2007 when Roque Santa Cruz netted three goals for Blackburn Rovers against Wigan Athletic. Prior to that, Dwight Yorke did it twice in 1996, Dion Dublin achieved it once in 1995, and Matt le Tissier accomplished it twice in 1993 and 1995.",
