Oi, this is how it works mates:
If a players scores three goals in a game, no matter how they are spread out through the game, it is a treble. The same goes for two goals in a game, excpet that it's a brace.
If a player scores three goals in a row in one half, then and only then is it a hattrick. Incidentally, in that case, it qualifies as both a a treble and a hattrick.
Any questions?
