I think there is 1 more, but can't remember it.
On November 11, 1987, Mark Hughes played two competitive games in one day, first for Wales against Czechoslovakia in Prague, and then for Bayern Munich against Borussia Mönchengladbach in a German Cup match, after being flown across the border to Germany to complete the feat. The extraordinary story involved a private plane, a Lada car, and out-of-the-box thinking from Bayern chief Uli Hoeness, who arranged the unique schedule.
Robert Earnshaw is the only player to have scored a hat-trick in all three divisions of the English Football League, the Premier League, the League Cup, FA Cup, and for his country at International level. His first hat-trick came in the FA Cup for Cardiff City against Bristol Rovers in November 2000; a month later, he netted three against Torquay United in what is now League Two. In September 2002, he scored his first League Cup hat-trick for Cardiff against Boston United, and in November of that year, he scored another three against Queens Park Rangers for his first League One hat-trick.
In 2003, he scored a Championship hat-trick for Cardiff against Gillingham, in 2004, he scored three for Wales against Scotland and in 2005, he completed a quite unique collection, scoring a Premier League hat-trick for West Bromwich Albion against Charlton Athletic.

Also the first player in English football to be awarded a goal due to video assistant referee.Kelechi Iheanacho is the only player in Premier League history to score a goal on all seven days of the week within a single season in the competition.
