Without further ado, we look at the 5 players who have scored 5 goals in a match in the quickest time possible.
Kylian Mbappé
The Frenchman as mentioned was on target not once, twice but 5 times against US Pays de Cassel in the Coupe de France clash.
The striker struck his first in the 29th minute before strikes in the 34th, 40th, 56th and 79th minute completed the rout.
This made the record of 5 goals in 50 minutes to make it the 5th fastest player in minutes to score 5 goals in a competitive match and a first for PSG.
Miroslav Klose
Klose signed for Lazio from Bayern in 2011 and within 2 years at the Italian Club created a record in the Italian Top flight competition.
Lazio beat Bologna 5-0 in the Serie A on 5th May, 2013 where the German scored 5 goals in an incredible 39 minutes.

Klose broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute before adding 4 more to his tally in the 36th, 39th, 50th and 61st minute.
This remains a record for Lazio as well with Klose becoming the first player from the club to score 5 in a Serie A clash.
Jermain Defoe
The striker returned to Spurs ahead of the 2009/10 season for a 2nd time and immediately got the ball rolling.
He continued his goal-scoring form against Wigan Athletic in the Premier League as Spurs trounced their opponents 9-1.
Defoe began the onslaught in the 51st minute before adding 4 to his tally in the 54th, 58th, 69th and 87th minute respectively.

This remains one of the biggest win margins in the Premier League history and Defoe certainly was in great nick then. The striker struck 5 in the space of 36 minutes.
Sergio Aguero
Aguero is another striker in this elite list when he scored 5 goals against Newcastle in the EPL 2015/16 season as Man City routed Magpies 6-1.
Aguero struck the opener in the 42nd minute before adding 4 more to his tally by the 62nd minute. This 20-minute run fest from Aguero is one of the EPL’s greatest moments and holds true to City fans.
Robert Lewandowski
Lewandowski tops the list and is likely to never be surpassed as the then Bayern Munich struck smashed 5 goals in a record 9 times of a Bundesliga clash.
Bayern Munich thrashed Wolfsburg 5-1 at home on 22nd September, 2015 where Lewandowski breathed fire on the opposition. So much so that Guardiola gave one of the shock reactions as Lewa made history.
