Justin Kluivert broke a Premier League record during Bournemouth’s win over Wolves. 

The Cherries returned to winning way following back-to-back defeats with a thrilling 4-2 victory at the Molineux. 

Kluivert took the match-ball home after scoring a hat-trick, with all three goals coming from the penalty spot. 

It’s the first time a player has scored a hat trick of penalties in the competition’s history, with striker Evanilson fouled on all three occasions. 

Kluivert’s first spot-kick came after just three minutes with the oer following 18 minutes and 74 minutes. 

Speaking to Premier League Productions afterwards, Kluivert said: ‘That sounds beautiful, to go in the history books. That is amazing. I’m super happy with it.

‘I train them [the penalties]. We have a great goalkeeper, Kepa [Arrizabalaga]. We try some stuff.

‘The first one, I stop and look at the keeper, what is he doing? I switched it up for the second one. Then the third one, he doesn’t know what I’m going to do. I waited and he chose for me. Easy as that.

‘We have shown that we can beat a lot of teams in this league. I am happy.’

On where he will place the match ball, the Bournemouth forward added: ‘I will put it in my daughter’s room, waiting for her to come in February, and she can see how I did it.’ 

Justin Kluivert is the son of legendary Barcelona and Netherlands international Patrick. 

He now has five Premier League goals this season having also netted in the win over Arsenal and defeat by Brentford.
