Stranded, helpless, buried. Not Shay's finest three minute-spell.

Saido Mane has given Aston Villa relegation quivers all over again after recording the Premier League's quickest ever hat-trick. The Southampton forward put his side 3-0 ahead against a hapless Villa side at St Mary's. Mane swept in his first, tapped in another - following defence shenanigans - and had Shay Given flailing at fresh air for his third. From 0-0 to 3-0, the hat-trick was recorded in 2 minutes and 40 seconds. SOUTHAMPTON, ENGLAND - MAY 16: Sadio Mane of Southampton celebrates scoring his team's third goal for hat trick during the Barclays Premier League match between Southampton and Aston Villa at St Mary's Stadium on May 16, 2015 in Southampton, England.

On 26 minutes, Given made a save to stop Mane getting his fourth but Irish striker Shane Long lapped up the rebound. Up in the stands, Dr Barry Gale was loving it: https://twitter.com/jordansibley/status/599545994020331520 Tim Sherwood, needless to say, was livid.
