Fulham attacker Gera delighted with friendly hat-trick

Fulham attacker Zoltan Gera was delighted with his hat-trick in the 5-1 friendly win over Werder Bremen.

The Hungarian international replaced Clint Dempsey just after the hour mark and proceeded to net a rapid-fire hat-trick before setting up Eddie Johnson for Fulham's fifth and final goal of the afternoon.

"I'm very happy because we played very well in the second-half," said Gera to fulhammfc.com. "The tempo was a bit higher in the second-half and everyone moved the ball early. It's always good to score goals, especially when it's three goals against a very good quality team like Werder Bremen.

"Sometimes you need luck - the first goal was unstoppable, sometimes that happens. The second was a good cross from Bobby and for the third I was in the right place at the right time. I'm happy scoring goals and I want to keep scoring in the Premier League."
