Ibisevic hits hat-trick as Hoffenheim crush Hertha


Hoffenheim striker Vedad Ibisevic showed last season's cruciate knee operation is behind him with a first-half hat-trick in the 5-1 humiliation of bottom side Hertha Berlin on Sunday.

Lucien Favre's position as Hertha coach looks increasingly precarious after his side slumped again following last Sunday's 4-0 hammering at home to Freiburg.
