Chelsea target Benrahma closing in on Aguero feat

Said Benrahma maintained his excellent recent form on Saturday as he netted a hat-trick in Brentford’s 3-0 victory over Wigan Athletic in the Championship.

The Algeria winger, who has been increasingly linked with a move to the Premier League, troubled the Latics throughout as Brentford boosted their promotion hopes.

The hat-trick was Benrahma’s third of the campaign and, putting that achievement into context, only Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero now has more than the North African.

According to Opta, the Argentina striker has scored three times in one match on four occasions this term, with no player matching either him or Benrahma’s haul of three goals.
