The Kluiverts definitely love Newcastle. Twenty years after the season spent by his father Patrick in the North of England, Justin Kluivert scored a resounding hat-trick at Saint-James' Park this Saturday, to open the 22nd day of the Premier League.
The former OGC Nice player struck three times (6th, 44th, 90th + 2), while Bruno Guimaraes had reduced the gap for the Magpies (25th). The Dutchman was even the decisive passer on Bournemouth's fourth goal, signed Milos Kerkez (90th + 6).
It's a real achievement for Bournemouth, as the Cherries are decimated by injuries, yet have just ended Newcastle's run of nine consecutive victories in all competitions. Andoni Iraola's team, undefeated since November 23, temporarily returns to 6th place in the ranking, one point behind its opponent of the day.
For Justin Kluivert, it is already the second hat-trick of the season after the one scored at Wolverhampton, where he scored three penalties. This time, there are three goals in the game, and here is the Dutchman who reaches the mark of 10 goals in the Premier League this season.
