"Oliver Burke became the first Scottish player to score a hat-trick in the Bundesliga during Union Berlin's thrilling 4-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. Having made their worst start to a top-flight campaign, Union got their season up and running in stunning fashion to move up to 10th in the standings. Ilyas Ansah had given Union a ninth-minute lead before Burke doubled his team's advantage soon after, racing on to Andrej Ilic's pass and finishing past Kaua Santos."
"Having doubled his tally in the 53rd minute, Burke found himself behind the Eintracht defence again soon after, providing a deft chip to complete his treble. All three of his goals were teed up by Ilic, though Union were made to withstand a nervy final few minutes after Can Uzun and Jonathan Burkardt made matters interesting. But Union, who saw manager Steffen Baumgart sent off in the closing stages, were able to hold on to clinch just their second league victory of 2025-26."
