Oliver Burke Scores Historic Bundesliga Hat-Trick as Union Berlin Defeats Eintracht Frankfurt 4-3

Oliver Burke made history as the first Scottish player to score a hat-trick in the Bundesliga, leading Union Berlin to a thrilling 4-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. Burke's three goals, all assisted by Andrej Ilić, came through a calm finish, a header, and a delicate chip, showcasing his clinical finishing and pace. Ilyas Ansah opened the scoring for Union early on and played a key role in setting up Burke's first goal, while Frankfurt staged a late comeback with goals from Nathaniel Brown, Can Uzun, and Jonathan Burkardt, the latter converting a penalty. Despite Eintracht's late surge, Union held on for their second league win of the season, moving them to 10th in the Bundesliga table, while Frankfurt remained sixth. The match also featured Union coach Steffen Baumgart being sent off, adding to the drama of an intense and high-scoring encounter. Burke, who joined Union Berlin from Werder Bremen in the summer, had not been capped for Scotland since 2020, but his performance has certainly put him back in the spotlight.
