In addition to Kluivert's heroics, his team-mate Evanilson also became the first player to win three penalties in the same Premier League game.
How may I assist you?

Considering he has also spent a spell on the sidelines through injury this season, it makes this even more impressive from the Arsenal star.
Top spot beckons
No player in Premier League history has both scored and assisted more times in a single game than Mo Salah.

One more game with a goal and an assist will see the Liverpool superstar stand alone in the history books.
Spreading the joy
