Chido Obi-Martin’s 15-minute hat-trick

On Saturday at Carrington, the Danish wonderkid needed 14 minutes to score a hat-trick in the Under-18 clash.

The towering striker made his debut last weekend with a 27-minute cameo against Sunderland, a month after joining the club from Arsenal.

The 16-year-old needed 13 seconds to open the scoring for his new team. He capitalised on a defensive error, rounded the keeper and slotted home.

He scored his second four minutes later and completed his superb hat-trick in the 14th minute, per Manchester Evening News.

The Red Devils confirmed Obi-Martin’s signing earlier this month after he turned down a chance to sign his first professional contract with the Gunners.

The young Dane hit the headlines after scoring many goals for Arsenal last year.

“Very happy to sign with this amazing club, time to focus and achieve all my dreams. Thanks to everyone who has helped me get this far,” he said after signing with the Red Devils via Eurosport.

Chelsea are now mathematically out of the Premier League title race.

This follows their 3-0 drubbing in the hands of Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday night.

Liam Rosenior’s men came into the match with 48 points, looking to keep pace with the teams in front of them.

However, Beto opened the scoring for the hosts in the first half, before adding a second after the break.

Chelsea barely threatened Everton and looked flat for most of the game, before Iliman Ndiaye added a third.

The result means the Blues cannot match the 70 points that league leaders Arsenal currently have with seven matches left.

Champions Liverpool are also on the verge of being mathematically ruled out, as they have 49 points.
