Burton (First Leg) Post Match Thread

A hat-trick is the players first 3 consecutive goals in a game. 4 = haul. Just googled it.
If it's uninterrupted by any other player scoring it's a natural hat-trick.
That’s one definition, often referred to as a ‘natural hat trick’, though, as you said.

The more general definition is ‘three successes of the same kind, especially consecutive ones within a limited period’; note ‘especially’, rather than ‘only’.

I’ve never liked the consecutive goals definition that some use, because from a statistical point of view it is arbitrary.

Plus it fucks up your original post ;-)
