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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Five minutes to go. Can Newcastle grab an equaliser?

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.

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.
