Salomon Rondon's stunning 13-minute hat-trick secured all three points for West Brom in their convincing 3-1 victory over Swansea City, but it was not just the speed of the three goals that was striking, according to Goal.com.

He made history and became the second player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick of headers - something that has not been done since Duncan Ferguson achieved the feat against Bolton in 1997.
