hat-trick in a 4-0 thumping of Division One promotion rivals Fulham.
Goater struck in the 29th, 77th and 85th minutes to take his season's tally to 18 goals and a Kevin Horlock penalty two minutes from time completed the rout in front of 30,057 fans.
The Bermudian put City ahead in a match televised live in England, neatly side-footing home to finish off a flowing move and grabbed his second with a bicycle kick after the Londoners failed to clear a free kick.
Then Goater showed his predatory instincts, pouncing to complete his first hat-trick of the season when Robert Taylor's header came back off the goalkeeper.
Shawn Goater: first hat-trick this season for Man City.
