Newell assisted Shearer nine times during the 1995/96 season, helping Shearer claim his second consecutive Premier League Golden Boot.
Stan Collymore for Robbie Fowler (1995)
Robbie Fowler's remarkable hat-trick against Arsenal in 1994 is well-known, as he scored in just four minutes and 33 seconds at Anfield.
However, it’s often overlooked that Fowler achieved a similar feat the following season.
He again struck a hat-trick against Arsenal in a 3-1 victory in 1995/96, with Stan Collymore providing a hat-trick of assists, showcasing their short-lived but brilliant partnership.
Thierry Henry for Freddie Ljungberg (2003)
Thierry Henry is widely regarded as one of the best players of the Premier League era.
A prolific scorer and a top creator, he set a record for 20 assists in a single season during the 2002/03 campaign.
Three of those assists came in the final match for Freddie Ljungberg, who scored a hat-trick at The Stadium of Light.
Harry Kane for Son Heung-min (2020)
Harry Kane and Son Heung-min hold the record for the most productive partnership in Premier League history, with no two teammates combining for more goals.
One of their standout performances came against Southampton in 2020, where Kane assisted four goals for Son at St Mary’s, making it the first—and only—time a player has assisted four goals for a teammate in a single game.
Kane ended the 2020/21 season with the Playmaker of the Season award, having created 14 league goals.
Cole Palmer for Noni Madueke (2024)
Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke have now joined this elite group after Palmer set up Madueke three times for a rapid hat-trick against Wolves.
Palmer’s perfectly timed passes found Madueke's runs at Molineux, leading to Madueke’s first senior hat-trick. It was a breakthrough moment for Chelsea and Enzo Maresca, as two of the club’s brightest young talents hit their stride.
The Blues will hope this marks the beginning of a fruitful partnership between the two.
