Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert struck a superb hat-trick in a 4-1 away win over his father Patrick's former club Newcastle United in Saturday's early Premier League kick-off, ending the hosts' six-match winning run in the league.

Ahead of the rest of the weekend's fixtures, the victory leaves Bournemouth sixth in the league on 37 points, behind fifth-placed Chelsea on goal difference, while Newcastle stay fourth on 38 points.

Kluivert gave Bournemouth the lead in the sixth minute with a sweeping shot and though Bruno Guimares equalised for the hosts from a corner, Kluivert struck again to send his side in 2-1 up at the break.

Newcastle struggled to create chances and Kluivert, whose father managed one goal at St. James' Park in a season-long stay with the Magpies in 2004/05, curled a superb third in second-half stoppage time before Milos Kerkez completed the rout.

14:43

An unbelievable performance from Bournemouth saw them thrash Newcastle 4-1 at St James' Park. They made a strong start to the match and went ahead early on with Kluivert finishing off a fine move. Newcastle grew into the first half and equalised with their first effort on target as Guimaraes scored from a corner. Despite that setback, the Cherries kept showing their attacking intent and retook the lead with Kluivert helping himself to another goal after Guimaraes was dispossessed deep in his own half. There was no real improvement from the Magpies after the break, with Isak and Gordon offering little in an attacking sense. Kluivert scored his hat-trick in the 92nd minute of the match with a fine curling shot from outside the area before Kerkez added more gloss to the scoreline with a goal of his own. The Cherries richly deserved their win and finished with an xG of 2.41 to Newcastle's 1.04. Bournemouth move up to sixth in the table and sit just a point behind Newcastle in fourth. Howe's side must regroup for next week's match away to Southampton while Bournemouth host Nottingham Forest. That's all from me, thank you and goodbye!

Anything you can do, Justin. The left back produces a lively stepover to create room past Kieran Trippier before rifling one into the far top corner.

Seven minutes of additional time. Plenty of time for Newcastle to find an equaliser.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:25

Bournemouth go on the attack with Semenyo coming onto the ball but his shot is blocked by Burn. The resulting corner sees Jebbison head well over the bar.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:23

It's eventually taken by Isak but it hits the wall and Gordon skies the rebound well over the crossbar. Both of Newcastle's key attacking players just have not been in the game.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:21

Jebbison clumsily fouls Tonali on the edge of the area and Newcastle have a free kick in a very promising position. Trippier, Isak and Gordon are deep in conversation.

14:20

Five minutes to go. Can Newcastle grab an equaliser?

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:18

Cooks needlessly fouls Willock, with Trippier whipping a delivery which is parried away by Kepa. It falls to Gordon on the volley outside the area and the connection is perfect but Huijsen stands tall to block the shot. That was going in.

Substitution David Robert Brooks Daniel David Jebbison

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:14

Cook, deployed as an unconventional right back today, does well again to deflect Livramento's cross towards Kepa and the pressure in Bournemouth's half is eased once more. We're approaching the last 10 minutes of normal time.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:13

Burns flicks on the free kick into Isak's path, but Christie does well to put him off and the Swede ends up losing the ball.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:10

Ouattara is given a yellow card for a cynical and late tackle on Guimaraes.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:09

Gordon's deflected cross is claimed by Kepa but he stands on Christie when doing so, leading to both players going down. A strange moment but both players can carry on.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:07

Newcastle win a corner, with Trippier's drifted delivery met by the head of Schar but there's no pace on the header and Kepa gratefully claims the ball.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

INCHES TO A THIRD! Ouattara frees Semenyo down the left with his cross finding Brooks in the area and his scruffy finish trickles towards the far corner but Dubravka manages to claw it away from goal!

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:04

Yellow Card Ryan Christie

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:03

Gordon wins a free kick in a good position down the left. The winger has taken most of the set pieces today but abdicates duties to Tonali, though the Italian's delivery has too much weight to it and sails over for a Bournemouth goal kick.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

14:03

Isak has scored in each of his last eight Premier League appearances for Newcastle. Only two players have had longer scoring runs in the competition’s history – Jamie Vardy (11 between August-November 2015) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (10 between March-August 2003). The Swedish forward has been quiet all afternoon, with no chance presented to him as of yet.

Another substitution from the home side sees Hall replaced by the experienced Trippier, with Livramento moving to left back.

Assist David Robert Brooks

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:54

More sustained Newcastle pressure as Guimaraes is fouled twice in quick succession deep in Bournemouth's half of the pitch. Gordon's delivery on the second is a flat one and easily cleared by Kluivert.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:51

Brooks takes the free kick and it's met by the head of Zabaryni but he gets too much on it and it flies way over the crossbar.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:50

Tonali fouls Kluivert on the edge of the box. The Dutchman has been a constant menace along with his two goals this afternoon.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:48

Direct wing play by Gordon sees him take on Zabaryni and deliver a cross but it's cleared out by Huijsen, positioned perfectly in the centre of the penalty area. Newcastle seem to be settling into the half now.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:46

First decent bit of play from the home side in this half sees Murphy win a corner off Kerkez but Christie glances a header away and Bournemouth eventually allieviate any danger.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:46

Christie wrestles the ball off Hall and bares down on goal but his shot is deflected away for a corner. Kluivert's delivery is headed out emphatically by Joelinton and Newcastle can clear. They've been rather open at the back during the start of this second half.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:43

Schar's first contribution of the match sees him make a horrendous pass straight into the path of Brooks but Dubravka easily saves the Welshman's curling shot from 18-yards out.

Newcastle are trailing at half-time for the first time since a 2-0 loss at home to West Ham in November. Can they fight back and win their 10th successive match in all competitions? The second half is coming up soon.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:29

Bournemouth are 2-1 up away to Newcastle after a breathless first half at St James' Park. The Cherries made a strong start to the match and made their dominance count with a goal from Kluivert after fabulous work down the left from Semenyo. The Magpies grew into the match despite the early setback and equalised from a corner with their first effort on target through Guimaraes. Bournemouth continued to look dangerous despite being pegged back and were rewarded as Kluivert scored again after Guimaraes was dispossessed deep inside Newcastle's half. Iraola's men have generated an xG of 1.26 to Newcastle's 0.38 and look good value for thier lead.

Newcastle go on the attack, with Guimaraes finding Gordon just inside the box, with his left-footed deflected shot flying just past Kepa's near post.

13:11

The Cherries continue to create opportunities, with Cook's cross down the right being met by Ouattara but he gets too much on it and it goes over the bar.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:10

A half-chance for the home side sees Joelinton's deflected shot go right into the path of Kepa. The tempo of the match has decreased slightly since the ferocious begnning.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:07

Bournemouth have lost eight of their last 11 Premier League games kicking off at 12.30 on a Saturday, including all four such games away from home in this run. They’ve kept a clean sheet in each of their three victories, but conceded at least twice in each of their eight defeats.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:05

The Cherries continue to probe with Kluivert picking out Christie in the box but his finish is a poor one and he misses the target. The Scot believes his effort was deflected and protests to the referee but it's given as a goal kick to Newcastle.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:04

Bournemouth continue to keep possession, leading to Kluivert whipping in a cross which troubles Dubravaka but flies over him and past his far post.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:03

Cook is found in acres of space down the right, he finds Ouattara but Burn does well to narrow the angle and block the eventual shot. Excellent defending from the Newcastle defender.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:01

Some Bournemouth pressure deep in Newcastle's half is lost after Joelinton wins a foul on the edge of the penalty area. The Cherries still look dangerous going forward despite that setback.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Bournemouth (Bruno Guimaraes, 25)

12:59

Fabulous header by the midfielder at a corner, and Newcastle are level!

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

13:00

Guimaraes now has one goal and two assists in his last three Premier League matches. The Brazilian continues to show his importance to this high-flying Newcastle side.

12:58

Christie concedes a corner after blocking Livramento's cross. It's half-dealt with by Kluivert but another corner is awarded.

Another worry for Bournemouth as Semenyo goes down and receives treatment for the knock earlier. Iraola will hope he can shake it off and continue, considering their injury worries elsewhere.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:54

Newcastle's first opportunity of the match sees Guimaraes tee up Joelinton to curl a first time effort at goal on the edge of the penalty area but it goes way over the crossbar. The Magpies are starting to get going now.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:53

A big challenge from Burn on Ouattara livens up the crowd. The defender wins the goal kick and gestures to the supporters.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:51

Murphy's cross is deflected off Kerkez and back on to him, giving Bournemouth the goal kick. They've not offered much of an attacking threat so far but seem to be settling into the game now.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:50

Howe has been in charge of all 13 Premier League meetings between Newcastle and Bournemouth – he’s won just two of these 13 games and is yet to beat his former side as Magpies manager.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:48

The resulting free kick is whipped in by Gordon but headed out by Ouattara. The away side look to break quickly but Livramento steers Newcastle out of danger as the last man and begins an attack.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:46

Adams is penalised for a crunching challenge on Guimaraes. The American is adamant he won the ball but gets a stern telling off from the referee.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:45

The early press from the Cherries is disrupting Newcastle's flow in possession and not allowing them to move up the pitch quickly enough. The likes of Gordon and Isak have barely been on the ball so far.

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Bournemouth (Kluivert, 6 min)

12:43 , Lawrence Ostlere

A slick move by Bournemouth and Justin Kluivert arrives in the box to sweep the ball into the far corner. Lovely move!

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:43

Bournemouth have won seven, drawn one and lost just one of their league matches this season after taking the lead. Newcastle must be wary.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:41

Semenyo makes another brilliant run down the left, beating Livramento for pace before Tonali concedes the corner. The Bournemouth forward seems to have picked up a knock in the process but looks fine to continue. Nothing comes from the corner.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:39

Four of the last five Premier League meetings between Newcastle and Bournemouth have ended level, with the Cherries winning the other 2-0 in November 2023.

12:00

Bournemouth are massively struggling with injuries, with James Hill the latest casualty after coming off against Chelsea. He joins the likes of Evanilson, Enes Unal, Alex Scott, Luis Sinisterra and Marcos Sensei who are out. Adam Scott also misses out, meaning Cook fills in at right back. Kepa was ineligble to start against his parent club Chelsea during the week but returns to the side in the place of Travers.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:00

Howe selects the exact same side that defeated Wolves three days earlier, with Schar returning to the bench after suffering from an illness. The Magpies remain without Callum Wilson and Jamal Lascelles through injury, with Harvey Barnes now joining them on the treatment table after picking up a muscle problem against Bromley in the FA Cup last week. Almiron makes the bench despite speculation linking him to a move away.

Bournemouth extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions with a 2-2 draw away to Chelsea, though were minutes away from their first victory at Stamford Bridge since 2019 until Reece James scored a late free kick. Despite Andoni Iraola’s side missing the opportunity to move to within two points of their opponents today, they are still just four points behind and remain in contention for a European berth this season. They sit eighth in the table and have scored two goals in each of their last five away matches, however they are winless in their last four visits to Newcastle, with their previous win coming in November 2017 when Howe was manager.

Newcastle United vs AFC Bournemouth

12:00

Newcastle will aim for a club-record 10 consecutive wins across all competitions if they manage to beat Bournemouth this lunchtime. Their incredible run of form continued in midweek with a comfortable 3-0 win over Wolves with Alexander Isak again on the scoresheet with a brace. He became just the fourth player in the division’s history to score in eight successive matches. They sit in fourth place, five points behind Arsenal in second and nine points off league leaders Liverpool who have a game in hand. Despite their blistering form, they have never kept a Premier League clean sheet at home to Bournemouth in six attempts and head coach Eddie Howe will be wary of the threat of the away side.
