Share this
LONDON - Clint Dempsey became the first American to score a hat trick in the Premier League in Fulham's 5-2 win over Newcastle yesterday.
The 28-year-old Dempsey scored three goals in a 30-minute span in the second half.
Dempsey scored his first goal to make it 2-1 for the Cottagers in the 59th.
Six minutes later, he slotted in a right-footed goal from 10 yards. Then he split two defenders, heading the ball down to himself, and two touches later scored in the 89th minute on a shot from 12 yards.
He's scored a career-best 15 goals this season, including nine in the Premier League.
On Friday, Dempsey was voted the U.S. Soccer Federation's male athlete for 2011.
