Should I be worried about a sudden jerk in my Polo?

I bought a new Volkswagen Polo GT 1.2 TSI DSG and it has just hit 800km. Recently when acclerating, as soon as the car hit fourth I eased up from the gas and the car responded with a sudden jerk. Is this normal? I tried to do it again, but it didn't happen so I am a bit worried. Is this the normal behaviour of a new car?

Thank you
