Maxi Rodriguez
Two hat-tricks (April and May 2011)
Perhaps an unlikely name to feature on such a list, the Argentinian experienced the definition of a purple patch in the final two months of 2010-11.
With Kenny Dalglish back at the helm and Liverpool seeing out the season with a freedom obvious in every pass and move, Maxi helped himself to a pair of trebles.
Birmingham City were the first side on the receiving end, at Anfield, before the diminutive wide-man lit up a trip to Craven Cottage with three more in a 5-2 success.
