Chris Wondolowski scored a hat trick after coming on as a sub last night. How many times has this happened? I think Harut Karapetyan's record 5-minute hat trick in 1998 was as a sub, but I could be wrong.
I was wondering about that too. Scaryice might know that sort of thing. Can't have happened very often.
Yep, appears you're right: http://articles.sfgate.com/1998-08-08/sports/17727624_1_harut-karapetyan-clash-lawrence-lozzano Of course, LA won that game 8-1, so these were not exactly vital goals here.
August 16, 1998. Stern John came on in the second half and had a hat trick against the Wizards in a 5-3 win.
