MW33 stats: Wood achieves rare treble

Wood's first-half treble took the Clarets nine points clear of the bottom three and made history for his country. Indeed, it was the first Premier League hat-trick ever scored by a player from New Zealand.

Furthermore, Wood's three goals also placed him among a trio of players to achieve a rare goalscoring feat.
