Mister hat-trick Mika Biereth is your MVP against Stade de Reims!
He made the Stade Louis-II his happy hunting ground. Already the scorer of seven goals before a visit from Reims, including hat tricks against Auxerre and Nantes, all scored in the friendly confines of Fontvieille, Mika Biereth has once again shown his talents there by perfectly respecting the expression of “never two without three.”
A real striker’s finish!
Starting alongside Breel Embolo in a 4-4-2, the Dane initially lacked success in the first 30 minutes with several chances narrowly missed. But when you are an attacker in form like him, potential doubt does not last long and on a ine cross from Caio Henrique, the number 14 went past his defender to beat Diouf at close range (34′).
First the equal of Zlatan
He was then scorer for the eighth time, but he did not take long to find the ninth five minutes later by showing his technique and his composure (39′). Scorer with a fine bit of control, he then took the time to beat the opposing goalkeeper with the help of the post to equal the performance of Zlatan Ibrahimovic who had also scored nine times during his first seven appearances in Ligue 1.

On his own planet
However, the performance was not enough for Mika to do it again as soon as he returned from the locker room, this time showing his qualities as a fox in the box by being on the lookout after a shot pushed back by Breel Embolo (51′). With this goal, he thus becomes the first player to reach the ten-goal mark in the 21st century with so few matches played.
Records galore and a new MVP title
But that’s not all, since he is also the first player to play three Ligue 1 home games with at least three goals scored since Thadée Cisowski with Racing in 1956, notes Opta. Just as he is the first Monegasque since Delio Onnis to score three hat-tricks in one season.
Records galore – and it’s not just those – which logically and largely earn him the title of MVP with 97% of the votes for the third time in a month, as well as a new presence in the Team of the Day. Well done Mika! 👏
