Gibbs‑White Hat Trick

Morgan Gibbs-White hit a Premier League hat trick for Nottingham Forest on Sunday, driving the home side’s attack in a win over Burnley. (bbc.com) The match was scheduled for Sunday, April 19, 2026 at the City Ground in Nottingham as a Matchweek 33 fixture, with Burnley starting the day 19th and Forest 16th in the table on the club website. (premierleague.com) (nottinghamforest.co.uk) Gibbs-White is Nottingham Forest’s captain and a 26-year-old England midfielder, and the Premier League’s player page listed him on nine league goals before Sunday’s game. (premierleague.com 1) (premierleague.com 2) Forest went into the day six points above Burnley, with both clubs in the lower half and Burnley carrying a goal difference of minus 33 on the Forest site’s standings. (nottinghamforest.co.uk) That made Sunday’s result significant in the relegation picture as well as for Gibbs-White’s own numbers, because goals from a midfielder can shift pressure off strikers late in a season. (nottinghamforest.co.uk) (premierleague.com) BBC Sport’s live coverage grouped Gibbs-White’s hat trick among the day’s standout Premier League results, putting his performance at the center of Sunday’s slate. (bbc.com) For Forest, the next league dates already listed by the club were away to Sunderland on April 24, away to Chelsea on May 4, then home to Newcastle United on May 10. Gibbs-White’s three-goal afternoon now carries into that run as Forest try to finish clear of the bottom three. (nottinghamforest.co.uk)
