It is 20 years to the day since Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink signed for Chelsea, and he certainly hit the ground running.

The Dutchman won the Premier League Golden Boot in his first season at Stamford Bridge, scoring 23 goals in 2000/01.

He went on to match that tally the following campaign, scoring a perfect hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur in the process.

Hasselbaink scored with his left and right foot in that 4-0 derby win, each time from outside the box, while also leaping high to head past Neil Sullivan.

We have chosen six contenders in the video above, and you can pick your favourite below.

Perhaps you prefer the one scored by another Chelsea star, Christian Pulisic, who achieved the feat against Burnley in October this season?

That was the 35th occasion in the Premier League that a player scored with his left foot, right foot and head in a match, and the 28th time it was done without a penalty, including Hasselbaink's feat.
