Adelaide United coach Carl Veart urged Australian football fans to be patient with emerging talent Nestory Irankunda after the Bayern Munich-bound striker became the youngest player ever to score a hat-trick in the A-League.

The 18-year-old fired Veart's side to a 4-1 win over Western United at Hindmarsh Stadium on Friday with his first three-goal haul in the professional game as the clock ticks down on his move to Germany at the end of the current campaign.
