Former Ireland international David McGoldrick netted a sensational hat-trick for Derby County in League One on Saturday.
McGoldrick, 34, showed he still has all of his ability with three brilliant goals in the 5th, 24th and 40th minute.
Two of the goals were assisted by fellow Irishman Conor Hourihane, while Derby's other goal in a 4-2 win over Bristol Rovers was scored by compatriot James Collins.

The best of the lot saw McGoldrick rob the ball off a defender before cooly curling a shot in off the far post from a tight angle.
McGoldrick made his debut for Ireland in 2014 and notched up 14 caps for the Boys in Green.
Despite some great link-up play and being the focal point of the attack under Mick McCarthy, the striker only managed a single goal for his country, which came in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Switzerland.
He decided to retire from international football in November 2020, citing a desire to spend more time with his family and concentrate on his club career.
