On September 23, Beijing time (CEST), the Premier League officially announced that Sunderland striker Brobbey has been named Player of the Week for Matchday 5.

Official Premier League announcement:

Sunderland striker Brobbey has been named Premier League Player of the Week for Matchday 5. In his team's 3-5 loss to Manchester City, he became the first Sunderland player since Jermain Defoe in 2016 to score a hat-trick in the Premier League, netting three goals in less than an hour.

In the 12th minute, the Dutch forward scored a spectacular goal with the outside of his foot to equalize at 1-1. He then added two more goals from inside the penalty area to complete his hat-trick – leveling the score again in the 33rd minute and making it 3-4 in the 59th minute.

This is only the sixth time in Premier League history that a player has scored a hat-trick while his team lost the match. The last occurrence was in December 2007 when Roque Santa Cruz of Blackburn played against Wigan Athletic.

Despite Sunderland's defeat, Brobbey's tireless running, physical strength, and clinical finishing constantly threatened Manchester City's defense throughout the match, earning him recognition from Premier League fans, with many voting for him to win the award.

He received 33% of fan votes for Matchday 5. Second place went to Gross with 22% of the vote. Other nominated players included Harvey Barnes, Jay Dasilva, Manzambi, Yannick Schuster, and Antoine Semenyo.
