I was at Craven Cottage on Saturday to see Zoltan Gera bang in what they call the 'perfect' hat trick against Bremen (header, left foot, right foot)
this is the only footage I can find of it on the internet:

Some questions as a result:
1) Can anyone else recall a perfect hat trick in a game they've seen, on telly or in person? This is the first I can ever recall seeing in the flesh.
2) Relating to the game itself, it's not the first time Gera has slayed a German team - he's done it 3 times now in the last 6 months. Is there a finer Kraut slayer in all of Europe? If so, I'd like to shake them by the hand and ask Capello to naturalise them immediately.
3) Out of 10, how uninterested was Mesut Ozil in playing for Bremen? I'll answer this - 10.5. I would worry if I were Blut or Chrissi - he looked like a man with no interest in his team or team mates. Fergle must have got to him in the dressing room before half time with one of his 'get well soon' cards.
4) Fulham really are a very tidy team. Yes, just a friendly, but will Fulham continue to surprise the doubters this season post Hodgson under new man Mark Hughes?
