Watch: Belotti goes atop Serie A scoring chart with 8-minute hat-trick
Andrea Belotti's breakout campaign is nearing the ridiculous.
The prolific poacher single-handedly brought Torino back into Sunday's match against former club Palermo, scoring a quick-trigger second-half hat-trick to give the home side a 3-1 comeback win.
Clocked in at 7 minutes and 15 seconds, it is fourth-fastest Serie A treble in the history of the league, according to UEFA.
Valentino Mazzola holds what is likely an unbeatable all-time record at a sensational two minutes.
Belotti now leads the Italian top flight with 22 tallies in 24 appearances. He is also five away from matching Torino's single-season scoring record set by Benjamin Santos in 1950.
The Italy international headed in the equaliser off a corner kick that Palermo goalkeeper Josip Posavec failed to clear in the 73rd minute.
Little more than 120 seconds later, Belotti took advantage of another set piece, this time latching onto a free-kick for a wonderful volley.
He completed the hat-trick off one final dead-ball delivery that found him at the far post.
It is the player's sixth multi-goal performance of the season, and his second trio.
The win restores Il Toro to ninth place in the Serie A standings, although it is still 12 points adrift of a European qualification spot.
