Premier League celebrates Brian Brobbey hat‑trick vs Manchester City

It is the week of Brian Brobbey, the Sunderland striker who delivered a perfect 10 with a hat‑trick against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium and was recently named Player of the Week by the Premier League.

Brobbey scored three times at the Etihad Stadium, but Sunderland lost 5‑3 to Manchester City. The spectacle attracted a lot of attention, with the Dutch striker in the spotlight.

The BBC gave the former Ajax striker a 10, and the Premier League chose him as Player of the Week. For Brobbey this is a welcome boost and a signal that he is settling quietly into the Premier League.

New opportunities with the Dutch national team

With all the compliments in hand, Brobbey now looks forward to the international break. Under the new national team coach Xavi Hernández, there is a strong chance he will become the first‑choice striker, as Donyell Malen has withdrawn and Memphis Depay and Wout Weghorst have not been selected.

The first Nations League match against Germany is scheduled for Thursday. For the Dutchman this means an important step towards a permanent place in the national team.
