Israeli media personality and former football star Eyal Berkovich is commemorating the 30th anniversary of a remarkable achievement in the English Premier League. On October 26, 1996, playing for Southampton, Berkovich was instrumental in a stunning 6-3 victory over Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.

Berkovich shared a statistic on his Instagram story highlighting that since that game, only one other player in Premier League history has been involved in five goals against Manchester United in a single match: Erling Haaland. This statistic underscores the exceptional nature of Berkovich's performance, which remains a unique feat in British football history.
Berkovich, known as "The Magician" during his playing career, is now a prominent and outspoken figure in Israeli media. He recently transitioned to Channel 13, co-hosting the program "Moria and Berko" with Moria Asraf. He also recently announced his intention to vote for the "Yashar!" party led by Gadi Eisenkot in the upcoming elections.
Despite his current high-profile media career, including a high-profile split from his former co-host Ofira Assaig, Berkovich's football legacy continues to be recognized. The anniversary serves as a reminder of his significant impact on the Premier League, placing him in elite company with modern stars like Haaland.
