A ‘perfect’ hat-trick is when a player scored with both feet and their head.

The 26-year-old joined from Spezia earlier this month for his third loan spell at Empoli and netted less than 10 minutes into his debut last week, in a 2-1 defeat at Hellas Verona.

Empoli moved to within two points of safety and 17th-placed Cagliari after only their fourth win of the season and first in more than two months.
