Watch: Crouch converts scissor kick en route to 1st hat trick since 2010

Peter Crouch scored more goals on Tuesday than he scored throughout the entire 2015-16 season.
In Stoke City's 4-0 thrashing of Stevenage in the League Cup, Crouch, at 35 years of age, set the clock back and tallied his first hat trick since August 2010. If that wasn't impressive enough, the lanky forward also scored by virtue of a scissor kick, going airborne in the 48th minute to score a goal that was eerily similar to his bicycle kick from Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Galatasaray nearly 10 years ago.
Crouch's last hat trick came during Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 win against BSC Young Boys in the 2010-11 Champions League's play-offs.
