He is the sixth player to score hat-tricks in consecutive Premier League appearances, in the game against Palace and Forest to be the first to achieve the feat since Harry Kane in 2017.
He is the first player to win the award in his first month in the Premier League since Bruno Fernandez won the award in February 2020.
