Yahoo Sports Justin Kluivert is having the season of his life 💫
Bournemouth ran out comfortable of Saturday's clash with Newcastle in the lead thanks in no small part to Justin Kluivert.
The Netherlands forward is enjoying the season of his life for Andoni Iraola's side and claimed a hat-trick at St James' Park to take his haul to 10 Premier League goals.
He also became the first Cherries player to be involved in four goals in one game and the third in the top flight overall this term after Brentford's Kevin Schade, Chelsea star Cole Palmer and Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah.

But beyond eclipsing those impressive feats, Kluivert also outperformed his dad Patrick on his parent's former stomping ground before the interval.
Justin Kluivert (2) has now scored more goals at St James Park than his father, Patrick (1).
That's despite Patrick Kluivert playing 11 games at home for Newcastle in 2004-05. #NEWBOU pic.twitter.com/XBd25bpRuT— Opta Analyst (@OptaAnalyst) January 18, 2025
It clearly runs in the blood.
