  "account": "Brian Brobbey has become the sixth player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick while his team lost a match. This remarkable feat occurred on September 20, 2026, when Brobbey scored three goals for Sunderland in a 5-3 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Brobbey's hat-trick came in the 12th, 33rd, and 59th minutes, but Manchester City secured the win with goals from Enzo Fernandez, Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo, and Erling Haaland. This marks the first time since December 2007 that a player has achieved this remarkable feat. Before Brobbey, Matt Le Tissier was the only other player to do so, twice, in 1993 and 1995.",
