LOIS OPENDA has beaten the record for the fastest Ligue 1 hat-trick.
The Lens star fired in three goals against Clermont Foot in just four minutes and 31 seconds.

He managed the feat in four minutes and 34 seconds.
Openda netted his first goal on the half-hour mark, putting his side in the lead.
His second came in the 34th minute as he finished off a swift Lens move.
