Three goals in the first ten minutes- last time this happened?

After 8 minutes yesterday it was Cardiff 1 United 2. I can't remember the last time there were three goals in the opening ten minutes of a United game, does anyone else know when this last happened?

It felt like that against Southend in the first Wilder season, although I was in the pub at the time

Summarising the story so far:

Fastest to 1-0 - 8 seconds
Burnley (A) 1963-64
Simpson

Fastest to 2-0 - 3 minutes, two games get a mention
(1) Blackburn (H) 1971
Woodward, Ford

(2) Newcastle United (H) New Year's Day 1955
Ringstead, Hagan

Fastest to 3-0 - 6 minutes
Newcastle United (H) 1955
Ringstead, Hagan, Hawksworth

Fastest to 4-0 - 8 minutes
Newcastle United (H) 1955
Ringstead, Hagan, Hawksworth, Spencer

The fastest to 5-0, 6-0, all the way up to 10-0 are likely Port Vale (A) in 1892, with scorers lost in the mists of time(?).

That was the one that sprang to mind as well but I think the third was closer to 20 minutes.

I remember Villa V United in December 2017 having lots of early goals, but it took 12 minutes for Donaldson to score to make it 2-1.
