3) Robbie Fowler – 9

Fowler

Labelled “God” by fans of Liverpool, Fowler was widely regarded as one of the most natural finishers of the Premier League era. That was borne out by the number of hat tricks he scored.

Like Owen, though, Fowler was at his best in his early years as a player, and he didn’t actually score a hat-trick again after 2001, despite spending six more seasons in the top flight.
