Unmatched since 1965: Bundesliga gem sets historic milestone

In the summer, quite a few were astonished when RB Leipzig secured the services of the then 18-year-old Yan Diomande for 20 million euros.

At the time of his transfer, the offensive player was valued at just over one million euros according to 'Transfermarkt.de'. Now that December has arrived, we must unfortunately acknowledge – the Saxons had a damn good instinct.

3 – RB Leipzigs Yan Diomande ist mit 19 Jahren und 22 Tagen der zweitjüngste Dreierpacker der Bundesliga-Geschichte - nur Frankfurts Walter Bechtold war vor über 60 Jahren jünger (18J 118T im November 1965). Triple. #RBLSGEpic.twitter.com/qq3vLs17Ts

Under Ole Werner, the Ivorian is developing more than splendidly. So splendidly, in fact, that he dismantled Eintracht Frankfurt in a historic manner last night.

In the 6-0 home victory against the Hessians, Diomande scored a historic hat-trick. Since 1965, no Bundesliga professional younger than the Leipzig player (19 years and 22 days) had scored three goals in a game.

Previously, only one had achieved this: Walter Bechtold was 18 years and 118 days old when he scored his hat-trick in November 1965. Diomande will probably just about accept that he is not the youngest hat-trick scorer in Bundesliga history.
