Yeboah lashed onto a poor headed clearance by a Wimbledon defender, controlled the ball with his chest and cushioned it with his thigh, before unleashing a thunderous volley with his right foot into the back of the net.
The hat-trick was the first-ever by a Ghanaian player in the history of the English Premier League.
