Leicester City striker Admir Bristric scored a 19-minute hat-trick during a 6-1 victory over Fulham Under-21s in the Jersey Mike's Trophy on Tuesday night. The performance marked his first goals for the club since joining from Olimpija Ljubljana in the summer, making him the first Leicester player to score a hat-trick since Patson Daka in 2021.
