  "account": "In the 2026 Premier League season, Brian Brobbey etched his name into a select group of footballers by scoring a hat-trick in a match his team ultimately lost. Brobbey became the sixth player in the history of the Premier League to accomplish this feat. He achieved this remarkable milestone while playing for Sunderland against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on September 20, 2026. Prior to Brobbey, there were only five players who had previously scored a hat-trick in a match they lost. These players include Matt Le Tissier, who scored hat-tricks in two different Premier League defeats, Dion Dublin, Dwight Yorke, and Roque Santa Cruz. Brobbey's treble came in the 12th, 33rd, and 59th minutes as Manchester City secured a 5-3 victory over Sunderland.",
