A villain in the eyes of Arsenal fans and a rebellious hero for Manchester United supporters, Robin van Persie scored five Premier League hat-tricks over the course of his illustrious career. Three of his five trebles came for the Gunners and the remaining two for the Red Devils.

Van Persie scored his first hat-trick for Arsenal in a 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic in January 2011. His second and third trebles came in the 2011-12 season, against Chelsea (5-3, October 2011) and Blackburn Rovers (7-1, February 2012), respectively.

After spending eight long seasons with the north Londoners, the Dutchman signed for rivals Manchester United in August 2012. Both his trebles for United came in his debut season, against Southampton (3-2, September 2012) and Aston Villa (3-0, April 2013), respectively. His 26 goals in 38 games proved to be crucial as United clinched their 20th English title at the end of the season.

Overall, Van Persie played 280 Premier League games, recording 144 goals and 53 assists. He won two Golden Boots during his stay, one with Arsenal (2011-12) and the other with United (2012-13).
