Which five Norwegians have scored English Premier League Hat-Tricks?

I'm 100% sure that Østenstad scored a hattrick also, so it should be six strikers.

Edit: I saw the game against Man U back in '96, and I was sure he scored a hattrick, but reading on Wiki now it says one of the goals was credited as an own-goal, so never mind.

No, West Ham United were losing Finalists in 1966 & 1981.

Burnley (1961, 1969, 1983 & 2009) is correct.
